Zusammenfassung:Everyone knows that species go extinct and biodiversity decreases. It seems obvious that this loss might have disastrous consequences. Maybe because of a cascading effect we will end up in a barren moonscape - and if that does not happen, we at the very least will remain dependent on biodiversity for food, health and well-being.This publication tries to remove some fear; there are no reasons to believe that biodiversity loss will cause any kind of disaster.
