#Overexploitation
Sometime in the next decade overexploitation of Utah's water resources for a pitiful amount of agriculture will cause the Great Salt Lake to dry up and create an ecological and public health catastrophe next door to their biggest population center. For what? It's madness.

They actually think those pastoral rolling hills are "nature" and not an ecological dead zone created by centuries of overexploitation via intensive farming and sheep over-grazing

There's no way to say this without sounding like an ecofascist (which I'm not), but humans are responsible for species extinction. It's good to get rid of invasive species that we brought, but we should also address climate change, habitat loss, overexploitation, pollution, and disease.

Many of New Zealand's unique birds are heading toward extinction. So the country is taking on an ambitious conservation project: eradicating the invasive species that prey on them.

The current mass extinction, known as the Sixth Mass Extinction, is primarily driven by human activities such as habitat destruction, climate change, overexploitation, pollution, and the introduction of invasive species.

People are flocking to Florida. Will there be enough water for them?

Climate change, a development boom, and overexploitation of groundwater are draining the Sunshine State.

UK spy chiefs warned government ministers of the catastrophic impacts on national security from the collapse of vital ecosystems around the world, driven by the climate crisis and the overexploitation of nature

Why is the UK’s suppressed climate national security report significant?
Warnings about the catastrophic effects of vital ecosystems collapsing were not published under previous prime minister

In terms of material distribution, workers critique injustices of social polarization (elites pull away while normal people are left behind); overexploitation (bosses maximize profit at workers’ expense), and market pressures (systemic competition squeezes everyone).

We must sustain the ocean that sustains us.

Climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and geopolitical tensions continue to pose a threat to our ocean, and we need to step up efforts to protect it.

A unified approach is essential for success.

Approximately 1 million animal and plant species face #extinction, many within decades, due to factors like habitat destruction, #climatechange, #pollution, and overexploitation. (IPBES)

The "abundance of life has vanished - largely through overexploitation"

The government must get on and pass legislation for Marine Protected Areas asap

However, from a conservation and management policy standpoint, the goal is "recovery to pre-overexploitation population levels," not "recovery to past exploitation levels that I am personally more used to and personally prefer."

Sharks are slow to mature and reproduce, leaving them vulnerable to overexploitation. Conservation has done wonders for some species but many are still in decline. So if you see a shark in the beach… get excited!!

The Euphrates River is drying up due to climate change, groundwater overexploitation, and structural dams, debunking literal interpretations of biblical prophecies regarding the end of days.

the overexploitation of the ecosystem will always take victims with itself even if they wherent the original target, ultimately even the exploiter might end up as colateral

Florida is about to be underwater, and also...has no water. Issues like this with groundwater are only going to intensify with climate change.

capitalists love overexploitation, it makes the system work to begin with! but now that they dont have any control over it and it destabilizes even the parts of their workforce they do not consider redundant it starts to upset them a little i suppose

Krill fishing has just got even more political and horrifying

Ukrainian scientist, Leonid Pshenichnov, has been arrested by Russia for his work in Antarctica towards protecting krill from overexploitation

He faces life in prison for "high treason"

2/2 The interesting thing here is that these shells comes from a late Neolithic shell midden (2,200 BC), and their shape tells us about the different exploited shore zones. Smaller + flatter shells can even highlight overexploitation events, as people had to go farther down the shore.
