‘Biodiversity is the living woven material of the planet. There are billions of species, among which Man, having many interactions between themselves.
When one stitch is undone, a second one soon gives away, then a third and
it is the whole loom which gets desorganised’
(Robert Barbaut, Director of the Ecology and Biodiversity Department at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle. Grenelle de l’Environnement
December 2007)
