Apocalypse -- The planetary killer -- Biodiversity. The wondrous variety of life on Earth -- Anthropocene: the era of ecocide -- Beyond price: what is being lost -- What are we doing about the biodiversity crisis? -- The Great Family of Life -- You will inherit the Earth -- From God to human: Rethinking the place of Homo sapiens in the Biosphere -- Global Harmony: A new relationship among the species that inhabit the Earth -- A day in Harmony.
Life on Planet Earth is at risk as a result of the negligent development model followed by one species: humans. The Great Family of Life explains the causes, consequences and desirable solutions to the unbalanced and unfair relationship between Homo sapiens and the other species that inhabit Planet Earth in a succinct, enjoyable and thought-provoking way. Major sociological, economic, political, religious and phylosophical perspectives are reviewed in order to understand why we have reached the current alarming status of global biodiversity during the Anthropocene, and how we can react to it to attain not just human welfare, but Global Happiness.
