The world is advancing at high speed, which is beneficial from a scientific point of view, but not from an environmental point of view, since climate change and its consequences have not been taken seriously. This is evident in the different ecosystems of the world; Now there is a large amount of pollution and fewer and fewer species. Recently, scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimate that species are becoming extinct a thousand times faster than they should, with literally dozens becoming extinct every day. But these estimates aren't made from stories about big, weird zoo attractions; Most of these victims are probably invertebrates, plants and other beings that go unnoticed due to their size. According to the study, it is difficult to determine the real extent of the crisis, however what researchers claim is that the Earth could host between 5 and 10 million species. On the other hand, the IUCN Red List mentions only a thousand extinct or extinct species in the wild, but one article estimated that 7% of known extant species could be extinct, if estimates of invertebrate extinctions are included.
Species loss The world has lost populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. The planet's biodiversity is suffering its worst decline globally and Latin America has lost 83 percent of populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians Nepal WhatsApp Number and reptiles in the last 40 years, according to a report from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). for its acronym in English). This impact on wildlife, especially in Latin American tropical areas, is greater than the global losses in the same period, which are 52 percent, said the general director of the World Wide Fund for Nature, Marco Lambertini. The loss of habitats, and degradation and exploitation due to hunting and fishing, are the main causes of this decline. Despite the decline of wildlife and the gray outlook presented by the report, Lambertini acknowledged that there is still a halo of hope to stop this phenomenon. It is worth mentioning that a United Nations report says that up to one million species of plants and animals are on the verge of extinction. The report's 39-page summary highlights several ways people are reducing biodiversity : Converting forests into farms, cities and other developments. Habitat loss leaves plants and animals homeless.
According to the report, approximately three-quarters of land, two-thirds of oceans and 85 percent of crucial wetlands have been severely altered or lost, making it difficult for species to survive. Climate change makes it too hot, wet or dry for some species to survive. Almost half of the world's land mammals, not including bats, and almost a quarter of birds have already been affected by global warming. A change is necessary, which is why it is necessary to continue with the measures that the government and companies are imposing in various parts of the world. Only in this way can the damage caused be reversed and true change achieved.the main forum on recycling in Latin America. In the case of electronic waste, data from the National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change (INECC) indicate that last year 558 thousand tons were generated, of which only 10% were recycled, while 40% was stored in residential homes. and warehouses, and the rest ended up in the hands of informal recyclers, landfills or uncontrolled dumps.
