Start building a wilder world
Solutions for
biodiversity loss
We, humans, struggle to take concrete actions to protect, preserve, and rewild nature because we have lost the connection we undeniably had with it in the first place. These cards aim to reconnect you with the natural world – this is the initial step.
The next step is understanding the causes of biodiversity loss and embracing the solutions to stop it.

A closer look: the 5 biodiversity loss drivers
Unpacking the causes of biodiversity loss
Habitat loss
The main driver of biodiversity loss is converting natural habitats like forests and wetlands for agriculture and urban use.
Direct exploitation of natural resources
The unsustainable use of plants and animals threatens one million species who rely on them for food, fuel, and income.
Invasive species
Invasive alien species (IAS) are organisms outside their natural habitat that harm native species, causing declines, extinctions, and damage ecosystems.
Climate change
Climate change, caused by a rise in Greenhouse Gas Emissions, impacts vulnerable ecosystems and potentially threatens one in six species worldwide.
Pollution
Pollution from chemicals and waste is a major driver of biodiversity loss, severely impacting freshwater and marine habitats.
A guide to action
Your role in solutions for biodiversity loss
Understanding what causes biodiversity is essential. Yet, knowing how to stop it and rewild the natural world is even more important.
With so many ways to help, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to do it all at once!
Choosing just one action is the best way to avoid action paralysis and create a lasting impact.
Make a stand for biodiversity
with your fork
Want to protect biodiversity while enjoying your next meal? Cut down on animal-based foods and up your plant game. Dig in, and save the planet, one bite at a time!
Join a community acting for
biodiversity like Wildya
Why go solo when you can join forces with other passionate biodiversity builders? There’s power in numbers, and when it comes to fighting biodiversity loss, community is key! Join the herd.
Watch your furry friends
when taking a wild walk
We love our furry friends, but sometimes they can disrupt wildlife. Keep an eye on them while exploring nature to help protect insects, mammals, and local ecosystems. Let’s keep nature wild, not disturbed!
Fight against
invasive species
Did you know invasive species are a major cause of biodiversity loss? These sneaky intruders push out native plants and animals, disrupting the balance of local ecosystems. Whether it’s planting native species or volunteering to remove invasives, you can give nature a fighting chance!
Talk about biodiversity
with your friends and family
Don’t be shy - start a conversation about biodiversity loss at your next dinner party! Our Wildya Conversation Cards are a fun way to raise awareness about nature and how to stop its decline.

Educate young folks
about biodiversity
The next generation holds the future of biodiversity in their hands. Teaching kids about the effects of biodiversity loss, climate change, and preserving natural resources helps create lifelong defenders of our planet.
Rewild your garden
Let nature run wild (in a good way)! Rewilding your garden creates mini-ecosystems that thrive with little human intervention. Wildflowers, grasses, and native species - all excellent ways to preserve biodiversity and create a haven for local wildlife.
Plant and buy local plants
and flowers only
Looking to give your green space a glow-up? By choosing local plants and flowers, you’re supporting native wildlife and avoiding the spread of invasive species.
Pressure your government
Real change happens when we push for policies that address the causes of biodiversity loss. Write to your representatives, sign petitions, and demand better strategies for biodiversity conservation and climate change.
Support NGOs, associations, and companies acting for biodiversity
Want to multiply your impact? Support companies actively working on strategies to conserve biodiversity. Your donations, purchases, and volunteering efforts help fight the effects of habitat loss.
Become a biodiversity defender
Becoming a biodiversity defender is easier than you think. Whether you’re planting trees, reducing waste, or speaking out about climate change, every action counts. It’s all about using your voice, habits, and efforts to protect nature for generations to come.
Create biodiversity hub spots
wherever you can
You don’t need acres of land to make an impact - turn your garden, balcony, or window ledge into a biodiversity hub with native plants, birdhouses, or insect hotels.
