The world’s forests, which now occupy 30% of the earth’s land surface, are an extremely significant resource, storing vast amounts of carbon, aiding in the purification of water and air, preserving natural biodiversity, and providing livelihoods for millions of people. Despite their critical importance, forests are under attack on a global scale, with the equivalent of 30 soccer fields disappearing every minute.

Did you know that healthy forests are the key to avoiding future pandemics? Healthy forests are a protective buffer between diseases found in non-human animals and global human populations. When we destroy them, we foster close contacts between animal populations and vulnerable human populations. That is why protecting forests NOW means protecting against pandemics now and in the future.

7 Visualisations that demonstrate How we Humans are Destroying Earth

7 Visualisations that demonstrate How we Humans are Destroying Earth | ecogreenlove

World population is growing at a rapid rate across the globe and according to a recent prediction by the UN, the global population will approximately be 10 billion by 2050. Whilst we are aware of its socio-economic repercussions like poverty, inequality, hunger, malnutrition, unemployment, lack of education and healthcare, it is important to understand that the aforementioned will take a huge toll on our planet’s natural resources. The most obvious implication of such a population explosion is deforestation to accommodate the rising population, which in turn can have a huge negative impact on biodiversity and ecological balance.

The production of greenhouse gasses by burning fossil fuel is causing “global warming” which is evident as the average temperature of air and oceans has significantly gone up. It has resulted in a disruption of the natural pattern of rainfall causing flooding and drought in the same region during the same year.

Unless we take notice of the developments and try to make amendments in our ways to lower our carbon footprint, the planet might look quite different soon. Check out this infographic from DPACK that lists 7 visualizations that elaborate how we humans are destroying the planet.
