Nature is humanity’s lifeline. Human health, food, economies and well-being depend on nature. Yet nature is in crisis. One million of the world’s estimated 8 million species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction. Meanwhile, ecosystem degradation is affecting the well-being of 40 per cent of the global population.

While the article's tone is advocacy-oriented and some claims (e.g., specific economic costs or agency motivations) appear speculative or overstated, the underlying ecological mechanisms align with established research on trophic cascades, grazing impacts, and predator-prey dynamics and the conclusions seem scientifically probable.
