This article explores the importance of long-term thinking and planning in preserving biodiversity and promoting the well-being of humanity. It acknowledges that the current focus on short-term gains and self-interest often leads to the depletion of natural resources, climate change, and loss of biodiversity. While there is growing awareness of these issues, the article argues that most current plans are still short-sighted. It raises questions about the appropriate time frame for considering biodiversity preservation and advocates for a cosmic perspective that takes into account the long-term future of life on Earth and beyond. The article emphasizes the urgent need for action to address environmental and climate emergencies, highlighting the warnings issued by scientists in 1992 and 2017 and the failure of nations to effectively respond. It stresses the importance of cooperation and collective action to find solutions and protect biodiversity, as well as the moral obligation to address these problems for the benefit of future generations and other civilizations.
