| Description: | Biodiversity faces a variety of different threats across the world. These include direct pressures, such as conversion of forest to permanent agriculture, poaching, illegal logging, mining, settlement and uncontrolled fires, or indirect pressures from pollution and human-induced climate change. Unsustainable consumption continues, as indicated by the growing human global ecological footprint, which exceeds the planet's ability to regenerate by about 25 percent. The 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assess ment concluded that almost 60 percent (15 out of 24) of the ecosystem services that support life on Earth and make a direct co ntribution to human wellbeing - such as provision of fres hwater, pollination and the regulation of regional di mate, natural haza rds and pests - are being undermined as a result of human activities. Two service groups, namely fis heries and freshwater provision, are now degraded beyond levels that can sustain current, much less future demands from a growing human population. |
