Auto-Destructive?

The UN has warned that humankind's destruction of the planet's biodiversity might well lead to the collapse of the ecosystems that maintain much of current life on the planet Earth(https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/nov/03/stop-biodiversity-loss-or-we-could-face-our-own-extinction-warns-un). They feel that a likely consequence would the destruction of our own species. The loss of biodiversity, it is claimed, is at least as much a challenge to our survival as climate change. Unfortunately, it is just much less obvious to most people than are extreme weather events.
