What can be done to protect biodiversity in your country?
In a context of dwindling biodiversity, Swiss voters decided on September 22 on a people’s initiative calling for better protection of species and ecosystems. Have your say on the vote and the wider issue of biodiversity.
The “biodiversity initiative”, launched by conservationists and environmental groups, calls for boosted funding and more protected areas in Switzerland.
The backers of the initiative said it was necessary to act now to prevent the extinction of numerous species, which would lead to huge costs. Opponents said the proposal was extreme and inefficient.
What do you think? Is it time for Switzerland and other countries to take more measures to protect biodiversity? What are the solutions?
