During a recent study scientists found that the presence of people significantly changed 97% of the biologically richest areas of the planet.
As told by Australian University Professor bill Laurance, the richest parts of our planet suffered the greatest losses. As a result, the doctrine showed that the human impact on the environment also extends to remote areas of the Earth.
According to experts, humans are the greatest threat to the flora and fauna of the planet. Due to the continuous activity of the earth’s resources are depleted. About 70% of ecologically contaminated regions suffer from an overabundance of the population. In General, industrialized countries gradually reduce the level of impact on the planet. The suitability of lands for agriculture is an important determinant of the emergence of environmental pressure worldwide. The specialists compared the data from the study in 1993 with work in 2009. Human impact has increased by 9% over the specified time period.
Experts are scratching their heads, as if to slow down the rampant population growth, particularly in Africa and parts of Asia, to protect natural resources.
