Extended data:
The United Nations Environment Programme publishes the theme of World Environment Day at the beginning of each year and the annual report on the state of the environment in World Environment Day every year. The earth is the common home of human beings and other species. However, due to unhealthy development modes such as deforestation and fishing, the rate of species extinction on the earth has greatly accelerated.
The trend of biodiversity loss is making the ecosystem slide to the critical point of irrecoverable. If the earth's ecosystem eventually deteriorates irretrievably, the relatively stable environmental conditions on which human civilization depends will no longer exist.
