🚨 Global agrobiodiversity is declining, threatening us all!
🧬 Genetic resources are vital for crops, livestock, and food systems to adapt to climate change, pests, and diseases. Without these resources, we risk losing healthy diets, ecosystems, and farmers' livelihoods. 🌾
We need food systems that are:
✅ Efficient 🌾
✅ Resilient 🌍
✅ Inclusive 🤝
✅ Sustainabl🚨 I#NexusAssessmentsment

🌍 Change cannot rely on a single event, driver or actor because the obstacles to transformation are persistent, pervasive and deeply rooted in social, economic and political systems. 💡
✨ Overlapping challenges demand collective agency, where diverse actors work together to implement solutions across sectors and scales. 🤝🌱

The correct answer is... B) Sea otter! 🦦 Sea otters are considered a keystone species because they play a critical role in maintaining the health of kelp forest ecosystems. They feed on sea urchins, which, if left unchecked, can overgraze and destroy kelp forests. By controlling the sea urchin population, sea otters help preserve biodiversity and the balance of the ecosystem. 🌊🐾

Sea otter right?
