In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, April 22, 2020 (the 50th anniversary of Earth Day) is still coming as scheduled. Is this pandemic a natural disaster or a human disaster? Are the various crises caused by global climate change a natural disaster or a human disaster? Specifically, it is not the result of a person or an event.

Human beings entered the sixth biological extinction, and the earth is facing a lot of ecological and environmental pressures. This is closely related to the rapid development of human beings since the era of industrial civilization and the unbridled consumption and destruction of environmental resources. The sixth biological extinction is also the only one caused by human beings. It is called "Anthropocene" by some scientists. Everything happens because of people and changes because of people.

We put forward a human-based solution (HbS) for this, which means that each of us can participate in the process of resolving the current crisis, and the efforts of each of us can constitute the only solution to these difficulties now. .

On behalf of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), I thank everyone for your participation, and I welcome everyone to join us and continue to work hard. We can use less plastic products, we can waste less resources, we can choose not to eat wild animals, we can actively participate in various protection actions, and we can give priority to enterprises with behaviors and efforts to protect animals to participate in poverty alleviation work, we can choose the organization that cherishes the environment and cherishes the earth as our supplier. We can promote changes in relevant regulations through the expression of opinions and attitudes ... We can change a lot through our choices.

Many things can change, and the world can change because of you!

Let us join hands and issue further initiatives on Earth Day to take actions to combat climate change and to implement biodiversity conservation, so that our common homeland — the planet earth achieve sustainable development, for ourselves and future generations, leaving the blue sky, lucid water and lush mountains!
