CURRENT EDITION
This issue celebrates World Environment Day 2010 (WED) and this year’s United Nations Environment Programme theme “Many Species. One Planet. One Future”.
The United Nations has declared 2010 the International Year of Biodiversity and the WED theme echoes the urgent call to conserve the diversity of life on our planet. It is estimated that there are anywhere between five and 100 million species on our planet, with only about two million species so far being identified. While there is still much we don’t know about our planet or whom we share it with, what we do know is that humans are among only a handful of species whose populations are growing, while most animals and plants are becoming rarer and fewer.
Clearly technology, science and innovation will play a major role in finding sustainable solutions to such challenges, but we can also learn a lot from each other and from nature itself – not all solutions have to be “new”.
At SKM we believe the greatest contribution we can make is in the delivery of sustainability principles through major projects around the world, with outcomes that consider the economic, social and environmental impacts of both our work and our corporate footprint.
