If I’m remembering the article suggests there was a span of approximately 60,000 years between what they characterized as the onset of biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse.
So geologically a blink of an eye but still 10x longer than the time since the Neolithic revolution and the adoption of agriculture.
The loss of biodiversity is reversible. We shouldn’t normalize defeatism.
