Biodiversity is declining at a faster rate than ever before in human history.
One million species, between 12% and 20% of estimated total species, marine and terrestrial alike, are under threat of extinction.
Biodiversity loss and climate change are interdependent and mutually reinforcing—one accelerates the other, and vice versa.
For example, protecting forests could help reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
The fashion industry is a significant contributor to biodiversity loss.
Apparel supply chains are directly linked to soil degradation, conversion of natural ecosystems, and waterway pollution.
For example, over 150 million tress disappear into clothing every year.
Majority come from tree plantations, but up to 30% come from endangered and primary forests.
Water and soil pollution from chemicals used in plantation forests and during pulp processing drive habitat loss and endanger species.
