Due to intensive agriculture, insecticides, pesticides and monoculture, animal and plant species are becoming extinct. Bird species are disappearing, bees as pollinators are dying, wild plant species are becoming fewer, insects are dying out, biodiversity is decreasing. Fewer fruits, vegetables and grains are cultivated. This type of agriculture is not sustainable. The song of disappearing species is not heard. Species die quietly.

On earth, we find 45% fewer invertebrates than four decades ago. No plant species is superfluous. The extinction of species is being called into question by a number of experts as the most urgent problem to preserve the foundations of our earth age.
