Life on Land Issues & Causes
Habitat Destruction
Climate Change
Land Degradation is the reduction in a land's ability to produce. It can be caused by natural or human-induced processes
Overexploitation is the act of harvesting a species from its habitat at a rate faster than the population can recover
Pollution
Human Population Growth
Legality
Land Ownership
Legal and Regulatory Gaps
Information Sources:
Rising temperatures and extreme weather events can affect:
the distribution and survival of plant and animal species of habitat
migratory patterns
Awareness and Education
There is the importance of biodiversity and the threats to it and to habitat loss and are exposed to the concept of endangered species
Of the 8,300 animal breeds known, 8% are extinct and 22% are at risk of extinction. Of the over 80,000 tree species, less than 1% have been studied for their potential use
Through detailed analysis of the environmental impact of certain activities, we become aware, explore and support potential, environmentally sustainable solutions
Animal Loss
Overharvesting
Poaching
Invasive species
Soil erosion
Loss of Biodiversity
Deterioration of soil nutrients
Deforestation
There are approximately 37,400 species threatened with extinction, which include both animals and plants
Unsustainable land use
This includes:
41% of amphibians
37% of sharks and rays
36% of reef building corals
34% of conifers
27% of mammals
13% of birds
Poorly environmental regulations
water cycles
runoffs and soil erosion
droughting
