BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
Our planet
Our breathing home
Where all life roam.
8.7 million known species
Coexist in unity
Lighting each new day.
But a silent tragic scream rises
From one million souls on the verge
Of becoming numb
Of vanishing
Of their stories being lost to time...
A silent extinction.
This cruel unraveling
Threatens the very balance.
The essential resources, humanity's core need
For food, clean water, stable climate...
It dims our planet's light.
The forests fall
The oceans gasp
The air grows thin and stained.
What happens next, when silence takes hold of the land?
What future awaits when the song of life is gone?
Protecting biodiversity means protecting our future
A trust we hold for every living creature.
Let's unite our hearts for all that's wild
And reclaim our place as guardians of the Earth's very soul.
