A shocking study published in Frontiers in Forest and Global Change has revealed that only 3% of planet Earth has remained untouched from expansion of humans over the globe. The ecologically intact portions of the Earth are limited to a small percent, with field work indicating that there are species that been lost from these areas of intact habitat as well. A significant toll concerns the larger species of both herbivores and carnivores.
The loss of biodiversity is attributed to various factors such as hunting, invasive species, disease and of course deforestation. Research indicates that there are five remaining ecosystems intact: Congo; Tanzania; the Amazon rainforest; Siberia; and southern Chile. This could be combatted by introducing species back into environments, which would help the area improve by 20%. But with carbon emissions set to increase in 2021, one wonders whether humanity is learning its lessons.
