We are currently extinguishing biodiversity at a rate close to 100k years per year (that is, recovery-via-evolution of the biodiversity lost in any recent year will take 100k years). Some of that biodiversity isn’t load-bearing (that is, we can do fine without it), but some of it is and we will be paying for it’s loss essentially-forever.
