There are at least two universes - one astronomical and one hidden on Earth. Both are complex and vast in a way that most people may not realize, and humanity is utterly dependent on both.
The prominent biologist Alexandre Antonelli works in Carl von Linné's footsteps by mapping new species, their evolution and ecological living conditions. The majority of all species living today are still unknown to us. We are still discovering tens of thousands of new species every year. Biodiversity is the most valuable asset the earth gives us. Most living species existed long before Homo sapiens, and man could not exist without nature's resources and ingenuity. Today, the threat to the earth's biological diversity is at least as big a problem as climate change. Invasive species, environmental toxins, warmer climates and humanity's exploitation of previously untouched nature and unique ecological niches for settlement, cultivation and other activities have put a whole million species at risk. A hidden universe is a book to be fascinated by but also to worry about. The book ends with advice on what the reader can do to protect diversity.
