speaking in a moment. i will bring in our environment editor. break this down. we are focusing on biodiversity. what is in this report? most famousof the animals almost extinct, the giant panda, the blue whale, but plants.l animals and they are looking at the relationship between the living elements on earth. it has been put together over three years. it is the most comprehensive report ever put together on biodiversity. the last one came out 15 years ago in 2005. nowhere as near as in-depth. very little is to be celebrated.

alarming g numbers in ththis report. theou touched on n what is key number in this report. 500,000 to one million species at risk of being extinct. if we take a closer look at what that might mean, around 40% of amphibians, different types of , coral reefs, sharks and rays. we are talking about 25% of mammals. not only rare, but the elephant could be extinct in our generation. these are just projections. the current rate of species extinction rate is at its highest ever in the last millions of years. the rate is accelerating.

we are in the sixth mass extinction. thatast one is the one wiped out the dinosaur. the difference is the last one was caused by an asteroid. there is no asteroid hitting earth. there is another reason behind it. genie: the reason is us. it lines out thehe five main culprits in this extinction. blame.s humans to they have outlined the order of the impacting they have had. they are overarching the biggest reason is land-use change.. we go in, clear forest,t,lear land because we want to build houses, farms, industry. world'sn a third of the surface and 75% of freshwater resources are devoted to crop production.

going t to go to unesco and listen to audrey speak. >> it brings together years of international corporation and research. once that t has happened, no o e abandoning our global environmental heritage, which has a long history. humaman activitiesave impactcted nature. efforts, we have laid the groundwork for finding solutions. we have adopted this document,

it is a way forward. says protecting biodiversity amounts to pronounce -- t to protecting humanity.. on diversity. we are part of the system which hinges on inteteractions, whiche do not value enough. the destruction of biodiversity compromises the key contributions nature makes to humanity. for me, it is important to , itrscore cultural heritage also threatens food security, our economy, and our quality of life. diversity,, diversity loss, it has hit vulnerable populations hard.

environmental heritage is being threatened. on top of that, peace and security are in peril. it is incumbent upon us to take action for the benefit of future generations. we cannot continue degradading r environmental heritage. this is a major challengege. it is important to state loud and clear how important cooperation is, how important it isis to stand in solidarity. this challenge requires us to adopt solutions at all levels and requires multilateral cooperation. this is the kind of work experts have been engaged inin. point.ll be a turning we are working with partners to

heritage,r natural the conservation of nature, and it -- will take place in china. vital.teralism is toe at unesco, we like commend the work done. we believe diversity is most important. cooperation is something we have tried to support.

also, the research we have done to make the most of indigenous knowledge. , toould like to underscore propose -- to --.ote sustainable creaea natural heritage sites and biosphere reserves. these bring together biodiversity protections and sustainable d development. localimplemented by the populations. if we step up our commitment, we will pave the way for sustainable solutions.

i would like to congratulate all ofof the scientists and other members. it is vivital for peace andd security. genie: we were listening to the head of unesco. our environment editor was listening to the speech, listening to what she had to say. humans are to blame for this.s.

more specifically, the report rakes it down into five culprits. overarching culprit is that we are going in and using so much of the land f for agriculture, building cities. is third of the land surface dedicated to crop and livestock production. that is because of growing demand for red meat. red meat uses more land than vegetables do. habitat loss, so there are less animals that live naturally. the other problem is hunting, fishing, exploiting animals in different ways. climate change, it is having a huge impact. pollutution is a a problem. of course, invasive species.

people are transporting by accident mosquitoes, rats, snakes, into country see -- into countries they were never meant to be. governments have been focusing on climate change for so long and have not been paying attention to biodiversity. the two are equally important. genie: what are the solutions? >> if there was one thing we could do, what would it be? there is no one silver bullet solution. it is a combination of things that we can do. the governments need to do more to protect species to stop illegal trafficking. we need to reduce the energy, we

need to leave fossil fuels in the ground. we need to use more environmentally friendly products at home.. we need to plant species that will help these thrive. genie: today, the new king of thaindnd is wrappingng u up thre days of coronation ceremonies. this is tylan's firsrst coronatn in nearly 69 years. appearance was the second time the public got to see him directly since his coronation saturday. >> he waited two years for the coronation.
