A trawler fishing boat harvests vast amounts of fish from the ocean

The cost-efficient choices justify nature loss

The modern life has revolved around a pursuit of speed, fueled by our short-sightedness. Every year, a new model is introduced, obsoleting the model of last year.

Moving too fast, thinking short-term, breaking the planet

Report on the state of the world’s ecosystems finds that human activities and climate change have significantly altered habitats such as coral reefs

Humans are driving one million species to extinction

A team of researchers has demonstrated that habitat size has a direct relationship with the abundance and biodiversity of a site. The team argues that larger areas of conservation prove more value that smaller, isolated areas of the same total size.

Smaller habitat areas lead to less diverse and thriving ecosystems

Biologists now suggest that a sixth mass extinction may be under way, given the known species losses over the past few centuries and millennia. A review of how differences between fossil and modern data influence our understanding of the current extinction crisis.

Has the Earth’s sixth mass extinction already arrived?

We’re driving ecosystems toward ecological collapse. One million species could be at risk of extinction soon due to human activity.

Partly responsible for this problem is the fact that the cost efficient economic solutions are very often ones more harmful to the biodiversity. For example, environmentally damaging fishing practices continue because they ensure 

. This results in the situation in which sustainable choices become luxury for both producers and consumers.

How do we ensure sustainable use of land and water?
