"In the face of a mass extinction event driven by climate change"
Small correction perhaps needed here? Technically the primary driver of the Mass Extinction Crisis is not climate change but habitat loss due to land change, most largely from how we produce our food. Animal agriculture and animal feedcrops comprises the bulk of that land change.
"Currently, 40% of all land has been converted for food production. Agriculture is also responsible for 90% of global deforestation and accounts for 70% of the planet’s freshwater use, devastating the species that inhabit those places by significantly altering their habitats. It’s evident that where and how food is produced is one of the biggest human-caused threats to species extinction and our ecosystems."
