Biodiversity loss is heavy stuff

I have a pretty personal relation to biodiversity loss. I was maybe in primary school when they cut a forest that was very special to me. I never was the person who cries easily or gets emotional in general. But that time I cried. It was a big thing to me, I almost couldn’t get over it. I was thinking how anyone who had walked in that forest could turn it into paper or into a house for themselves. I think it was such a valuable and beautiful place. For me the cutting was like nothing short of a sacrilege. So in that regard, I feel that biodiversity loss is pretty heavy stuff. But then, I think it’s really important to talk about it because for me it’s actually, at least partly, an even bigger problem than climate change. Because anyway, climate change is a thing with which we might be able to live, somehow. But  biodiversity loss, it’s possible that it’s the kind of thing, like, that was it. Like there’s no getting back from there. In any time frame.
