The Planet Earth receives First Term Report and receives a failing grade in Keeping Animals safe and alive.

Earth Report Card – September 2014

  • A – Beauty
  • A- – Diversity
  • F – Animals Safety and Health

The Living Planet Report issued the report to the Earth.  In the comments section the report noted that because in less than 2 human generations more than half of the Earth’s animals have died the Earth is failing to keep animals alive.

“On a recent visit to Arnhem Land, I was struck by the beauty of the landscapes and seascapes, the rich variety of species, and the staggering amount of art, going back 60,000 years, that permeate the landscape. The first Australians clearly learned how to live in tune with the land, understanding and respecting the great cycles of planet Earth that provide the goods and services that support human life.

 

We think we have come a long way from they but – in one very important respect – we have regressed significantly. The first Australians were intimately connected with the biosphere around them, and made sure that future generations had the same, stable life support system they had. Present day Australians, however, have increasingly cut themselves off from the biosphere, ignorant of its functioning and importance, and rapidly eroding it’s integrity.

 

Climate change is one of many global changes that are destabilising our planetary life support system. It is ultimately a question of core values. Can we change our core values rapidly enough – and decisively enough – to halt our slide towards collapse? That is humanity’s most important question in the 21st century!”

A rapidly changing global climate, brought about by increased industrialization in the developing world, has produced radical changes in how people understand the natural world.  Learn more about how scientists think and feel about climate change.
