No Dodo Zone
(Declare yours today!)

No Dodo Zone is a simple way to create a conversation about biodiversity conservation, in the home or workplace.

By declaring a No Dodo Zone, you make the statement that no species will go extinct as a result of your activities in that place.

Declaring a No Dodo Zone is simples!

David Hood declares his office a No Dodo Zone.

Associate Professor Lydia Kavanagh declares her ofice a No Dodo Zone.

Willow Pryor declares her office a No Dodo Zone.

Peter Sugg declares his office a No Dodo Zone.

Rod Welford declares Ensight's corporate headquarters a No Dodo Zone.

Why No Dodo Zones?

To understand extinction, it is necessary to understand issues such as:

- Biosphere Integrity
- Nature Conservation
- The Sixth Extinction

Since life began on Earth over 3.8 billion years ago, there have been five major extinction events when most of the species perished. We humans are perpetrating the sixth extinction - creating many 'lost species'.

See Extinction Rates Soar to 1,000 Times Normal (But There's Hope)

Humans just 0.01% of all life but have destroyed 83% of wild mammals

The Stockholm Resilience Centre has developed the concepts of the Planetary Boundaries. Of the nine boundaries, we humans have exceeded five. One of the exceeded boundaries is called Biosphere Integrity. See the quote below:

"Loss of biosphere integrity (biodiversity loss and extinctions)
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment of 2005 concluded that changes to ecosystems due to human activities were more rapid in the past 50 years than at any time in human history, increasing the risks of abrupt and irreversible changes. The main drivers of change are the demand for food, water, and natural resources, causing severe biodiversity loss and leading to changes in ecosystem services. These drivers are either steady, showing no evidence of declining over time, or are increasing in intensity. The current high rates of ecosystem damage and extinction can be slowed by efforts to protect the integrity of living systems (the biosphere), enhancing habitat, and improving connectivity between ecosystems while maintaining the high agricultural productivity that humanity needs. Further research is underway to improve the availability of reliable data for use as the 'control variables' for this boundary."
