The accelerating loss of species around the globe is so extensive that many experts now refer to it as the sixth mass extinction. It’s driven in large part by an unprecedented loss of vital ecosystems such as forests and wetlands, the result of social and economic systems that are focused on constant growth.
The latest United Nations (UN) Biodiversity Conference, COP15, the second session of which is due to take place in December 2022, aims to implement ambitious measures for preventing biodiversity loss. The ultimate goal is to establish harmony between humans and nature by 2050. However, key players such as the body of conservation scientists that produces reports on biodiversity for the UN continue to prioritise human wellbeing above all else. This prioritisation may be the result of an anthropocentric culture that typically considers humans to be separate from and of greater value than other species.
To effectively address our extinction crisis, we need more than merely technical advances or policies that remain stuck in anthropocentric assumptions. Rather, we need fundamental changes in how we view nature and other species.

Evie Kalo is what you might call a serial home-swapper. She and her husband are among the millions of global workers who became fully remote during the pandemic. Ever since, they’ve swapped their apartment in Amsterdam for a series of “workcations” across Europe, in places such as a beach in Barcelona and a French Riviera resort town. “What we love about it is that we trust people to be at our home because they are trusting us to be at theirs,” says Kalo.
The couple tries to stay in each place for about two weeks so they can have enough time to explore sites around their busy work schedules. Home swaps allow people to attain the kind of journeying lifestyle they desire at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a pricey holiday — or second home. By capitalising on their own most valuable asset — a house or apartment — they’re able to stay in other people’s comfortable accommodations around the world.
So far, people are finding their homes informally through work colleagues or friends. Others have turned to social media. Yet, the most popular method is the search on online marketplaces.
Globally, the number of swaps finalised per day on Home Exchange (an online marketplace) in August 2022 was up 50% from August 2019, according to statistics provided by the company. The company has also seen the average trip length increase well beyond the standard seven days in 2019. Some 59% of its members now want to stay for 10 days or more, and many are opting for locations closer to home. Domestic travel is 25% higher than it was is 2019, which is attributed to workcation deals to a great extent.
