To keep our ecosystems healthy and protect different kinds of plants and animals, we can use several simple strategies:
Protected Areas: Creating places where nature is safe can help protect about 15% of land ecosystems. This is important because these areas are home to about 70% of all living things on Earth.
Sustainable Practices: Using land in a way that keeps it healthy can make ecosystems stronger and more productive. This can help capture around 10% to 30% of the carbon we need to reduce in the atmosphere.
Restoration Ecology: Fixing damaged ecosystems can help bring back about 80% of the services we lost. This means we can help both the environment and the variety of life it supports.
Community Involvement: When we get local people involved in protecting nature, they are more likely to follow the rules—this can increase their involvement by 50%. Their participation also helps to make sure that we use sustainable practices.
Using these strategies helps us keep important ecosystem services running while also protecting our planet’s amazing variety of life.
