Biodiversity for a Livable Climate
Loss of Biodiversity: Consequences
1. Freshwater: Reduced Availability & Quality
2. Food: Reduced Availability & Quality
3. Disease Processes in Many Species (including Humans)
4. Loss of Climate Stability - Global Warming Jim Laurie

“When you understand the power of self-organization, you begin to understand why biologists worship biodiversity even more than economists worship
technology.”
“Hierarchical Systems evolve from the bottom up. The purpose of the upper layers of the hierarchy
is to serve the purposes of the lower layers.”
from Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows
Places to Intervene in a System12. Numbers - “Mostly, the numbers are not worth the sweat put into them”
(I’ll skip a few.)
4. Self-Organizing Systems (John Todd & Eco-Machines)3. Goals (What do you want? - Allan Savory & HM)2. Paradigms (Lynn Margulis - Microbial Symbiosis)1. Transforming Paradigms (questioning your own beliefs and paradigms)

90% of the Work will be done by other species.
How do we give Voice to them?
How do we learn from them?• Think like a Fish.. or like a Nitrobacter.. or
Fungi.
• What does the Fish need?
• How does the Fish interact with other species?
• How can the “Symbiosis Team” work together to improve the process?
• Can Humans be a part of the Symbiosis Team?
