Biodiversity threat is growing

Every kind of living next to the world, faces the danger of being destroyed under the pressure of human activities. A large-scale scientific analysis released in the last period, which will no longer be involved in doubt, in order to reveal the devastating effects of mankind on nature. This research conducted in the leadership of scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Water Sciences and Technology (Eawag) and Zurich University revealed that more than 2000 studies were covered by the entire planet of human-source biodiversity loss.

All habitats under threat[
This comprehensive research analyzed about 100,000 different regions including terrestrial, sweet water and sea ecosystems. [

The big threat to the person: the trace of the human hand everywhere[[

Five main reasons for biodiversity loss were determined: transformation of living spaces, direct exploitation of natural resources (fishing, fishing), climate change, fox species and pollution. Especially intensive agricultural activities stand out as one of the most destroying nature due to pesticide and fertilizer quantities used.

Due to the population of species such as reptiles, amphibians and mammals, the risks of destruction are higher. According to the research, these types are among the most affected groups of human activities. The special plants living in high mountain areas trigger the process defined as the ‘staining elevator’, which is common in low altitudes.

The change in variety is not only numerical]

Another remarkable finding of the research is that it is not only the number of species, but in the composition of species there are also serious changes. This situation directly affects the functioning of ecosystems and the services offered by nature. In order to maintain ecological functions such as pollination, rotting and seed spreading, it is necessary to protect both populations and genetic diversity.

A critical partner for future]

The researchers states that these findings may be a milestone for future protection strategies. This study, which reveals the size of human impact for the first time, offers a solid foundation for decisions that will shape the future of our planet.
