A Life on Our Planet We share Earth with the living world - the most remarkable life-support system imaginable, constructed over billions of years. The planet's stability has wavered just as its biodiversity has declined - the two things are bound together. To restore stability to our planet, therefore, we must restore its biodiversity, the very thing we have removed. It is the only way out of this crisis that we ourselves have created. We must rewild the world David Attenborough Witness Books 2.020 9781529108279 https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/life-on-our-planet-book-david-attenborough-9781538719985 Species population monitoring, Habitat loss and fragmentation analysis, Sea-level rise measurement, Environmental regulations and standards monitoring, Coastal water quality monitoring, Coral reef health assessment, Marine biodiversity monitoring, Ocean acidification measurement, Satellite-based environmental monitoring, Land degradation and deforestation mapping Biodiversity and Ecosystem Monitoring, Climate Change Monitoring and Mitigation, Environmental Monitoring Technologies and Innovation, Environmental Policy and Governance, Marine and Coastal Environmental Monitoring Local Communities, International, Governance, Scientific
