All economic systems are grounded on the productivity of biological diversities used as primary, secondary and tertiary raw materials.

We are panicking that Earth system is going to fail as its capacity to maintain is being tested to limits due to massive human activity. As we are not sure about the Earth’s exact ability to restore itself or to adapt to the human alterations, we need more precise information and measurements and should research on devising bio and physical technologies to enhance Earth’s capacity to adapt to growing human activities.
