According to biologists Stuart Pimm and Edward O.Wilson and the 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, Extinction rates increased by 100-1000 times the natural background extinction rate during the 20th century. As human population and resource consumption increase over the next 50-100 years, our ecological footprints are likely to expand. In addition, we also expected to take over an even larger share of the earth’s surface and net primary productivity that supports all consumers
據生物學家斯圖亞特皮姆和愛德華威爾遜和2005年千年生態系統評估,滅絕速度提高了100-1000倍的自然背景滅絕率在20世紀。隨著人口和資源的消 耗增加,在未來50-100年,我們的生態足跡有可能擴大。此外,我們也將接管一個更大份額的地球表面和淨初級生產力,支持所有消費者
