Our planet is on the brink of ecological and environmental crises that we have the ability to avert. We have already entered what has been classified as the Sixth Extinction. Habitat loss, climate change, and natural resource exploitation are causing species to vanish at a rate 1,000 times faster than they would if humans were not present. Yet, there is cause for hope: Sustainable business practices are becoming standard, thanks to initiatives such as the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, and technological advancements are providing new sources of support to frontline conservationists around the world. What are the most innovative efforts emerging from MENA that can help us fuel a virtuous cycle instead of a vicious one? How do we ensure that we take full advantage of the profound opportunities at our fingertips?
