Paragraph 2
There have been
signs in the past few years. More than 4,000
of plants and fungi were discovered in 2019. Among these are
future foods that could be a lifeline to millions of people on Earth suffering from
and food insecurity. Professor Antonelli stressed the
of protecting these and all plant life on Earth. He said: "We would not be able to survive without plants and fungi – all
depends on them. Every time we lose a species, we lose an
for humankind." The research was released on the
of a United Nations summit aimed at addressing this
. Leading scientists will meet and insist world leaders act against biodiversity
.
