We live in an era of major anthropogenic impacts on nature and society. Indeed, the beauty and richness of our planetary home is threatened by the human enterprise. In this presentation Dirzo will argue that, in order to address this challenge, we need to appreciate the beauty and fascination of our biological and cultural richness -- and the imperative need to engage in an inter- and multi-disciplinary agenda of collective work to safeguard as much as possible of these two treasures.
