STORM INTENSITY FIRE
Global warming elevates fire risk. Fires in Australia, Amazonia, and
California burned an unprecedented >12.4 million acres of forest in 2019.
INTERACTION DISRUPTION
Climate change is affecting ranges globally. Ants are invading and consuming wildlife in cloud forest never before exposed to these marauders.
INTRODUCED SPECIES
Global trade is accelerating the movement of
pernicious plants, animals, and
pathogens to new regions—often
with devastating consequences.
POLLUTION Chemical,
light, and noise
pollution of water, air, and soil are impacting plant and animal life worldwide.
URBANIZATION Our global population of 7.8 billion, spread
planet-wide, comes at great cost to biodiversity and wildlands. Already, over 500 vertebrates have been driven to extinction.
AGRICULTURAL INTENSIFICATION Industrialized agriculture, with its attendant increases
in scale, monoculturalization, nutrient input, and pesticide use, is becoming increasingly nature unfriendly.
