Last year, the United Nations had warned that human activities would wipe out animal or plant species every hour and called on the world to do more to slow the worst spate of extinctions since the dinosaurs by 2010.

“Biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate. The global response to these challenges needs to move much more rapidly, and with more determination at all levels,” the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon had said in a statement.
