the five things that have majorly impacted the change in nature are changes in land and sea use, direct exploitation of organisms, climate change, pollution,and invasive alien species
greenhouse gas emissions have doubled since 1980, causing the average global temperature to increase by at least 0.7 degrees Celsius
75% of land environments and 66% of marine environments have been significantly changed by human impact

Around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction.
The mass extinction is a direct result of human activity and constitutes a direct threat to human well-being in all regions of the world.
Plastic pollution has increased tenfold since 1980, 300-400 million tons of heavy metals, solvents, toxic sludge and other wastes from industrial facilities are dumped annually into the world’s waters, and fertilizers entering coastal ecosystems have produced more than 400 ocean ‘dead zones’, totalling more than 245,000 km2. (around the size of the united kingdom!!)

How can integrated management strategies be implemented to balance food and energy production with biodiversity conservation in the future?
What steps can global financial systems take to prioritize sustainability over economic growth in the coming decades?

1: Greenhouse gas emissions have doubled in 40 yrs raising global temp by 0.7 degrees celcius

2: 3/4 land-based environment and near 66% of marine environment have been impacted by seriously impacted by

3: since 1900 average abundance of native species in most major land-based habitats has fallen by at least 20%, >40% of amphibian species and almost 33% of reef-forming coral

1: around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction

2: plastic pollution is ten times what it was in 1980

3: average abundance of native species in most major land-based habitats has fallen by at least 20%, mostly since 1900. More than 40% of amphibian species, almost 33% of reef-forming corals and more than a third of all marine mammals are threatened. The picture is less clear for insect species, but available evidence supports a tentative estimate of 10% being threatened. At least 680 vertebrate species had been driven to extinction since the 16th century and more than 9% of all domesticated breeds of mammals used for food and agriculture had become extinct by 2016, with at least 1,000 more breeds still threatened.

Why dont we just make more animals????
What would happen if we cloned animals....

Nick, Kiera

2024-11-19 21:35:38 UTC

Three-quarters of the land-based environment and about 66% of the marine environment have been significantly altered by human actions
1 million animals and plants that are threatened with extinction, more than ever before in human history.
The poor and the Indigenous populations are affected most by climate change.

how bad is it in Oregon?
can the whole world genuinley come together for the great or good?

which geographical locations have been the most impacted?
what are the most important steps that we can take to reverse the damages we have caused?

Bai-lee and Addison

2024-11-19 21:37:06 UTC

We need to stop overfishing and using resources that we don't have. The rate at which we use land and kill animals is unsustainable and we don't have a second plan. Starting with the use of fewer fossil fuels and not killing endangered species.

What percent of tropical rainforest have we lost from 1980-2000?

Which species have been affected the most by climate change?

Leo and Mark

2024-11-19 21:38:41 UTC

1) An estimated 1 million species are threatened with extinction.

2) Since 1980 greenhouse gasses have doubled.

3) Since 1970 agricultural, fishing, and harvesting materials has increased significantly.

Nick, Kiera

What percentage of the extinction-causing factors are caused by each class or group? (large businesses, commuters, common people, the poor)
How can we return life to the ocean dead zones? How risky would that be?

As a whole, humanity overlooks the overconsumption and misuse of our fossil fuels. If us, as a society, were to be mindful and understanding of our effects on the world we live on we could take a step forward into the progress needed to save our planet.

1) How can we change the current trajectories of conserving nature and sustainability?

2) What is the human carrying capacity?

Wild mammal biomass has declined by 85% since the growing precense of humans
Transformative changes can help convserve and restore sustaniblity
Average abundance of native species dropped 20% since 1900 in land based habitats

For industrial fishing, impliment marine protected areas and manage kep biodiversity areas to protect fish population.
