Why Humanity Must Save Nature To Save Itself

28 March 2024 19 July 2024

Our planet – the only home we have – is at a breaking point. Two-thirds of our Earth’s oceans and three-quarters of its land have been significantly damaged by human activities. The rate of extinction is accelerating at an alarming pace, with estimates suggesting up to one million species could vanish by 2050. This translates to an extinction rate potentially hundreds of times faster than what the planet has witnessed over the last 10 million years. According to insurer Swiss Re, one-fifth of all nations could face complete ecosystem collapse due to the destruction of wildlife and their habitats – resources upon which we ourselves depend for survival.

AI for Earth: How Artificial Intelligence is Revolutionizing Environmental Conservation

Subtropical Seagrass Meadows: How Ocean Warming Threatens a Vital Marine Ecosystem

17 March 2024 19 July 2024

As global temperatures continue to rise, the consequences of ocean warming become more apparent. Tropicalization, driven by these increasing temperatures, underscores the interconnectivity of marine ecosystems beyond geographical borders. Among the most affected are subtropical seagrass meadows, which are particularly susceptible due to their essential role in fostering biodiversity and enhancing coastal defense. Moreover, the ecological shifts prompted by tropicalization are not limited to seagrass habitats but also impact a variety of marine environments and species. The effects on coral reefs and mangrove forests are unmistakable, highlighting the pressing need for immediate measures to counteract the repercussions of ocean warming.
