Impact of Climate Change on a Thrivable Lifestyle

|

A thrivable lifestyle presents a transformative alternative to conventional sustainability approaches, as climate change continues to disrupt ecosystems, economies, and daily life across the globe. Its effects are profound and accelerating on every continent. Unlike sustainability, which focuses on reducing harm, a thrivable lifestyle emphasises regeneration, creativity, and co-flourishing across all life systems. It promotes […]

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.).
