#impacts — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

2/5 We assessed changes in 3 key biodiversity dimensions (#richness, #composition, and #homogeneity) between ~50K reference communities and 50K human-impacted communities, focusing on major #human #impacts (habitat change, pollution, climate change, resource exploitation, invasive alien species)

"Those that #advocate for #population #reductions never mean #themselves, it's always the ones that have huge #economic and #ecological #impacts, that think some #poor #person who is #starving with #nothing on the other side of the #world should take #responsibility."

Learning interrupted

"Climate shocks are disrupting children’s education, putting their learning and their futures at risk."

"A new UNICEF analysis reveals that at least 242 million students in 85 countries or territories had their schooling disrupted by extreme climate events including heatwaves, tropical cyclones, storms, floods and droughts in 2024, exacerbating an existing learning crisis."
