How could no one mention the environmental issues?!
So, I'll start. I believe that the loss of biodiversity is the most terrible threat to our societies.
I believe it, because the loss is incredible fast (80% insect masses disappeared in the last 30 years in Europe), while no one cares about it (who knows what is the Ipbes?).
I believe it also because diversity life is providing a huge list of necessary services (e.g. cleaning, fertilizers, protection against ground erosion) to our society, that we don't take into account.

A bunch of beekeepers do a study of their drunken bug counting over the past decades and, before you know it, someone concludes that "80% of Europe's bugs have disappeared"! That's rich! FWIW enjoy your "missing insect masses" while you can because, if it's true, I guarantee that they'll be back in full force within two years (after all their predators die off) and shops will be selling out of insect sprays and repellants.
