Stop destabilizing the Earth system! (Pt. 2)
Halting and reversing biodiversity loss toward restoring Earth system stability
... "Our findings emphasize that preventing the loss of intact biomes, ecosystems, and species assemblages is the most critical strategy while acknowledging the urgency of extinction prevention and the need for restoration. Additionally, we highlight the importance of incorporating Indigenous and local knowledge systems alongside scientific methods to achieve effective and equitable conservation outcomes. Finally, we discuss the need for economic transformation and the private sector’s role in fostering an NP future."
"Incorporating Indigenous or traditional knowledge and practices, which are rooted in responsibility to the living world and inherently include awareness of biotic and abiotic processes, is essential to achieving the NP goal."
"The NP shift requires transforming our economic system to work within the Earth system and equitably support human development.
Human exploitation of nature driven by prevailing economic systems of production and consumption is causing a rapid and catastrophic decline in biodiversity (1) while simultaneously disrupting the climate system (2). These actions are actively destabilizing the Earth system upon which human health and development depend (3), and the trajectory of environmental degradation is accelerating, placing life as we know it at grave risk" >>

Stop destabilizing the Earth system! (Pt 1)
Halting and reversing biodiversity loss toward restoring Earth system stability
"Human activities are driving a global decline in biodiversity and are interfering with the natural processes essential for human well-being. Achieving climate and development goals is impossible without keeping nature intact. In this article, we establish the urgent need for a paradigm shift toward a “Nature Positive” (NP) future, where the health and resilience of the Earth system are recognized as the fundamental basis for human prosperity. This requires that humanity acts to halt and reverse the loss of nature by 2030. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) provides a critical roadmap for this NP goal, and global policy increasingly recognizes that environmental targets can only be effective when integrated with global climate, ocean, and human development agreements. This requires a biodiversity conservation approach that accounts for both biotic and abiotic components of the Earth system. We assess the adequacy of GBF targets for stabilizing the Earth system and highlight key gaps. We employ the Three Global Conditions Framework (3Cs), which categorizes landscapes by human impact levels as a practical method for guiding appropriate NP actions, and we extend its application to the marine realm. We outline specific actions and metrics for patterns and processes across all scales needed to achieve biodiversity conservation in synergy with climate stabilization and securing freshwater systems." >>

Six Full Metal Jacket bullets down, 12 more to go. I wanted to at least have SOME bullets to use in the meantime.
I don't know why Djeeta's model just laying there cracks me up so much.
Degraded ecosystems - Australia's biodiversity report card leaves out fossil fuel support
"An international agreement, the Global Biodiversity Framework, called for governments to identify and stop financially supporting industries that harm the environment.But in its first report on its progress towards stopping biodiversity decline, Australia neglected to provide any estimate of its financial support to the fossil fuels industry."
"Australia's first progress report, submitted earlier this month, noted there was $242 million of financial support to the agriculture and fishing sectors that could harm the environment."
"Independent studies have suggested one to three species of invertebrates have gone extinct every week in Australia since European colonisation. "
