Nature’s Filters: Wetlands, Forests, and the Fight Against Water Pollution

|

Introduction: The Vital Role of Wetlands in Water Pollution Control Wetlands are essential ecosystems that play a key role in controlling water pollution. They act as natural filters, helping to remove harmful substances such as excess nutrients, sediments, and pollutants from water before it reaches larger bodies like rivers and lakes. As water passes through […]

How Terrestrial Biodiversity Influences Aquatic Diversity

|

Beyond Boundaries: How Land and Water Ecosystems Are Connected There is an intrinsic link between the land and all waterways. The air, land, and water cycles influence each other. The continuous movement of water through each of these cycles is important for planetary health (NASA, n.d.). Evaporation, transpiration, condensation, and runoff are some of the

The Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity Loss

|

Climate change has been identified as one of the biggest causes of biodiversity loss (Yousefi et al., 2019). The IPBES (The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) reported that species are going extinct 10–100 times faster than the natural rate of the past 10 million years. Around a quarter of animal and plant

Impacts of Ocean Acidification: A Growing Threat to Marine Life and Biodiversity

|

Introduction The rising level of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has disastrous effects on the climate and Earth’s largest ecosystem, the ocean. 30% of current carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere are absorbed by the oceans (Shadwick et al., 2023). Thus, substantially moderates the effects of climate change globally. However, it causes a

Reducing Roadkill: Infrastructure Innovations to Improve Habitat Connectivity

|

The Roadkill Problem: A Threat to Biodiversity Human infrastructure poses significant risks to biodiversity and the creation of Strong Sustainability. This infrastructure creates alien environments that most animals cannot comprehend. The biggest infrastructure threat to wildlife is roads, which affect approximately 20% of the total land area in the United States (Federal Highway Administration, n.d.).

Thrivability in Action: Clean Technologies and Circular Resources for a Regenerative Future

|

Introduction In the global shift toward a regenerative future, thrivability reframes sustainability, not as preservation, but as regeneration. This article explores how clean technologies transform industries, such as electric vehicles (EVs), solar, and Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), alongside circular strategies like battery and solar panel recycling. These innovations advance renewable energy, cut emissions, restore ecosystems,

Sustainable Infrastructure In The Finance Sector

|

Within the finance sector, sustainable infrastructure has never been the main focus for financial institutions. The focus is on traditional infrastructure that yields economic or financial gains for many institutions such as banks and investment companies. However, over time the investment and financing in traditional infrastructure has given rise to negative social and environmental impacts.
