Iberá National Park – Restoration initiative launched by Kris and Douglas Tompkins

the golden rule for all species: Ecosystem Services > Ecosystem Consumption

Our goal: create a net-positive civilization where: Ecosystem Services > Ecosystem Consumption

In other words: How can humanity be a net positive to nature?

HUMAN IMPACT SUMMARY:

  • 2234 Gt CO2 added since 1750
  • 582 Gt à Ocean (-0.11 pH = 30% more acidic)
  • 648 Gt à Land (Plants, Soil, Detritus)
  • 1004 Gt à Air (Climate Destabilization)

Some of these impacts are catching up with us fast…

  • Global reefs gone in 35 years
  • 25% of all marine species
  • 1 billion people affected

How will net positive be possible?

The damage is large and the time is short, so...
