We share the world with the living world ? the most remarkable life-support system imaginable, constructed over billions of years. The planet?s stability has wavered just as its biodiversity has declined ? these two things are bound together. To restore our planet?s stability, we must restore its biodiversity, the very thing we have removed. It is the only way out of this crisis that we have created. We must rewild the world. Such were the words of David Attenborough in his recent book.
In our attempt for comfort and stability, we have gradually and unconsciously shaken the very steadiness of our home. Climate scientists have been searching for the silver bullet to resolve the crisis. One of the best models today is the planet boundary model led by Johan Rockström from the Stockholm Resilience Centre. This model predicts the planetary boundaries at length and the triggering of irreversible tipping points that Rockstöm says would occur if the Earth surpasses 450 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Finding balance and creating a reversal process is key.
