Population Decline Will Change the World for the Better
Scientific AmericanMAR 31 2023
Land use change, accelerating habitat destruction, and increasing resource demands from growing human populations are emerging as the most significant future drivers of biodiversity loss. With climate change set to become the primary cause of species decline in the coming decades, it's indispensable to address species conservation with immediate intervention.
This study focuses on the devastating impact humans are having on biodiversity worldwide, but it doesn't address the need to balance conservation efforts with economic development. Instead of focusing solely on species conservation, we must also seek solutions that consider both the protection of biodiversity and the need for sustainable economic growth, ensuring a future with both ecological health and human prosperity.
