活動介紹 Topic -《國際名家論壇_是誰瀕臨滅絕？全球生物多樣拯救行動》
50年來，全球人口從25億漲到68億，耗用了地球1/4的表土、1/5的可耕地、1/3的森林，大幅改變大氣的特質。

人類急速擴張生活領域，導致生態失衡，物種瀕危。每年有15000個物種瀕臨滅絕。50年內，預估將有565種哺乳動物消失，500種鳥類絕種。

當地球被人所獨霸，人，自己將面臨什麼？
還來不來得及拯救？拯救，從哪裡開始？
Human population has climbed from 2.5 billion people to 6 billion since the 1950s and human production has exhausted one-forth of Earth’s land surface, one-fifth of arable land, and one-third of vegetation. The Earth’s atmosphere has gradually changed.

Vast exploitation has led to ecological imbalance. 15,000 species are threatened with extinction every year and within 50 years, 565 species of mammals and 500 species of birds will disappear.

I called the organization, but they said all the openings are taken. If you really want to join this meeting, you still can go there to see if there are openings for alternates.
