Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative change (2019, neutral): “At the same time, expanding the amount of land devoted to agriculture to ensure that all people have adequate nutrition would negatively affect biodiversity as well (93) andwould further exacerbate climate change (19, 92).”
Agricultural and forestry trade drives large share of tropical deforestation emissions (2019, background): “, 2014) and a major driver of biodiversity loss (Maxwell et al., 2016; Tilman et al., 2017)—is increasingly driven by international demand for agricultural commodities (DeFries et al.”
State of the world's raptors: Distributions, threats, and conservation recommendations (2018, neutral): “The importance of these threats to birds and other wildlife globally has also been highlighted by previous reviews (BirdLife International, 2013; Joppa et al., 2016; Tilman et al., 2017).”
A Global Deal For Nature: Guiding principles, milestones, and targets (2019, neutral): “On land, hunting by humans imperils 40 to 50% of all threatened bird and mammal species (80).”
The Sixth Mass Extinction: fact, fiction or speculation? (2022, neutral): “…accepted not only among the vertebrate-centric media but also among many vertebrate-centric scienti ﬁ c and conservation organisations and seemingly sometimes even among vertebrate-centric scientists themselves (e.g. Ceballos et al ., 2015, 2017, 2020; McCallum, 2015; Tilman et al ., 2017).”
Drones count wildlife more accurately and precisely than humans (2017, background): “Wildlife populations are undergoing dramatic declines in response to a wide range of human-induced threats (Dirzo et al. 2014; Tilman et al. 2017).”
