Famed Pacific island’s population 'crash' debunked by ancient DNA

Genome analysis adds to mounting evidence against the idea that Rapa Nui’s population collapsed owing to overexploitation of natural resources.

Deepwater #sharks and #rays are among the most sensitive #marine vertebrates to #overexploitation. 33% of threatened deepwater sharks are targeted, and half the species targeted for the international liver-oil trade are threatened with #extinction. Steep population declines can't be reversed due to long generation lengths.
Immediate #trade and #fishing #regulations are required to prevent irreversible #defaunation and promote recovery of this threatened #megafauna group

Wealth At the Expense of Others?
Wealthy countries should pay for the loss and damage they cause to #nature in poorer countries in the same way as for climate impacts.
“Global #biodiversity loss has been disproportionately driven by consumption of people in rich nations. The concept of ‘loss and damage’ – familiar from international agreements on climate breakdown – should be considered for the effects of biodiversity loss in countries of the global south.”
"Like climate breakdown, loss of wildlife has significant social and economic impacts. As a result of the expansion of destructive #mining, #agriculture and #deforestation by wealthy nations, people in poorer nations often have fewer natural resources to feed themselves, fewer opportunities to generate an income, and have a loss of cultural values, according to the researchers."

MIT Predicted in 1972 That Society Will Collapse This Century. New Research Shows We’re on Schedule.
>In 1972, a team of MIT scientists got together to study the risks of civilizational collapse. Their system dynamics model published by the Club of Rome identified impending ‘limits to growth’ (#LtG) that meant industrial civilization was on track to #collapse sometime within the 21st century, due to #overexploitation of planetary resources.

MIT Predicted in 1972 That Society Will Collapse This Century. New Research Shows We’re on Schedule.

A 1972 MIT study predicted that rapid economic growth would lead to societal collapse in the mid 21st century. A new paper shows we’re unfortunately right on schedule.
