Business leaders talked a good game about protecting the environment at the Davos summit but biodiversity, like the plight of endangered elephants, was ignored.
When CEOs and business leaders arrived in the isolated Swiss town, climate change was on the table. But the absence of conversations about elephants and global biodiversity—crucial components of our ecosystems—were glaring inconsistencies in what has become a failing climate change narrative.
As we tend to forget, elephants are ecosystem engineers, and our fate is inextricably linked to their survival. Drilling in this ecosystem would be a time bomb of unimaginable proportions. How, after the COP21 Paris Climate Accord, can humanity continue to think in these terms—and if not for the environment, what about the people who live there? After all, native peoples, about 5 percent of the world's population, are custodians of over 80 percent of the world's biodiversity. Yet everywhere they are imperiled, imprisoned or killed, when they risk speaking out against climate change.
