1st ANNUAL REPORT ON BIODIVERSITY

Describing the Anthropocene as an environmental crisis ignores its most important message. When people work together, supported by scientific and technological knowledge, they can impact policymakers and change the world for the better.

NBFC's Slogan: Biodiversity is the solution

In the current context of climate change, habitat loss, and local and global species extinctions, it is crucial to recognize the critical role that biodiversity plays in maintaining the functioning of the planet. Biodiversity is an essential resource for humanity and for the health of ecosystems, and it is at the very basis of the regeneration of environmental resources.

Biodiversity is the solutions as it guarantees:
• Ecosystems functioning in terms of stability, resilience and functional relationships in ecosystems.
• Adaptation to climate change Biodiversity mitigates the effects of climate change and reduces the impact of extreme events such as floods, heat waves and landslides.
• Social and economic sustainability Biodiversity is a driver of social justice and equity. It is also the basis for developing sustainable production processes, green jobs and many primary human activities such as agriculture.
• People's well-being People's health is closely linked to the biodiversity of the environment in which they live. Moreover, biodiversity is the starting point for developing new pharmaceutical molecules, supplements, and foods capable of promoting human well-being.
• Preservation of culture and traditions For Italy, biodiversity is not only nature, but it is also the basis of our culture, history and identity.
