Biodiversity Belowground
Conserving ecosystems starting with soil
Terrestrial ecosystems and soil creatures are tightly linked. Until they aren’t. Like when soils are degraded and exploited.
When soil organisms are lost, ecosystems become unstable, and so do the human societies that depend on them.
It’s easy to see how humans have destroyed forests, wetlands and grasslands – but what is happening below ground?
Are we too late? What does a world without wild microbes look like?
