According to Conservation Fund in 2002 of <Living Earth>, With humans currently using more natural resources than they can replace by 20 percent, the overall standard of living will decline after 2030 if governments do not intervene. The report indicates that there are 35% of living species on earth decreased in the past 30 years. Freshwater life was reduced by 54%; A 35 percent decline in Marine biodiversity; Tree species decreased by 15%.
The main manifestation of the resource problem is: the world’s forest decline is serious, according to green peace organization estimates, in the past 100 years, the world’s primary forest has been destroyed 80%; The problem of soil degradation is not optimistic. As a result of soil degradation, the world’s per capita cultivated land area has decreased. According to the statistics of the United Nations, the world’s per capita cultivated land area has decreased by about half from 1975 to 2000. The problem of water resources is becoming more and more serious.
There are lack of water resources and serious water pollution which became one of the most important environmental resources problem. That’s also one of the significant challenges that human beings facing. According to the UN’s 2015 world water development report there are 40% which is a huge distance that between human beings’ demand for water and rehydration.
This responsibility and mission will eventually fall on each of us. We have no way to get rid of it and have no chance to change the past, but what I can do is to start to feel the life and power of the nature around me from now on, and to respect and protect it.
