Up to 40% of the global terrain has already been devalued, mainly through modern agriculture. If nothing changes, then an additional area of land the size of South America will be damaged by 2050. Human activities are damaging and degrading the lands of the Earth in an unsustainable fashion according to a new UN report. A major focus is the degradation of the lands of the Earth. This means the actions that are causing the land’s overall health to decline, become less fertile, store less carbon and be able to support fewer species. But if lands are restored and protected, they could help contain climate change and species loss. Should we blame people’s ignorance for the nature loss ?
