Sommario/riassunto

Après 4,5 milliards d’années d’évolution, notre planète s’épuise du fait de l’exploitation intensive des énergies fossiles et de l’eau, de la surconsommation d’engrais agricoles et de la déforestation. Elle pourrait vivre la plus importante des extinctions massives. Observer les organismes avec lesquels nous cohabitons permet de mieux comprendre les fonctions de chacun et de percevoir l’ampleur des phénomènes en cours, qui engagent dès à présent l’avenir de l’humanité : perte de la biodiversité, dégradation des écosystèmes, changement climatique, épidémies. Face à ce constat alarmant, les scientifiques ont un rôle déterminant à jouer : produire des modèles et formuler des prédictions pour susciter des actions politiques concrètes.
