An imposing structure made of stacked blocks stands at the heart of the COP16 Biodiversity Conference’s Blue Zone. Dubbed “Biodiversity Jenga,” this art installation captures the pressing message of the summit: it’s time to do something about the threats against the world’s biodiversity.
As experts and officials engage in critical talks, “Biodiversity Jenga” symbolizes the fragile balance of ecosystems. Each block represents a species or habitat; removing one could destabilize the entire structure, mirroring how the loss of biodiversity can impact the planet.
The installation has become a striking centerpiece, drawing attention to the urgency of ecosystem protection. Participants are reminded of the interconnectedness of all living things and the immediate need for collective action to safeguard our natural world.
The COP16 conference emphasizes that protecting biodiversity is crucial not only for environmental health but also for human survival. The “Biodiversity Jenga” serves as a visual call to action, urging global leaders and communities alike to address the threats facing our planet’s ecosystems before it’s too late.
