A state-of-the-art solution for hydrocephalus

Nature is not a -nice to have it-s our life support system. Dwindling biodiversity endangers the very foundation of our existence. A turnaround is possible, but only if we all want it, says Christoph Küffer. The scale of the biodiversity crisis is such that it can no longer be tackled by a handful of nature protection areas and a couple of volunteers. Nature conservation has gone from a mere hobby to a global issue demanding commitment and concerted action. And this is what the International Day for Biological Diversity calls to our attention¹. The day dates to 22 May 1992, when countries around the world together drew up the Convention on Biological Diversity², setting out commitments for saving the ecological underpinnings of life.
