Biodiversity, a vital asset for Europe
François Dugeny Director General of IAU-idF
Today the current rate of disappearance of species is a 1000 times higher than normal.
The principal causes of the destruction of the biodiversity are:
- Changing environment (urbanisation and consuming space, pollution)
- Fragmenting the landscape (urbanisation and infrastructures),
- Invasive species which threaten insular environments.
