Our planet continues to warm due to human activities. According to a UN report, 70 percent of Earth’s land area has been transformed from its natural state due to the construction of settlements, roads and agriculture. Humans are altering the course of rivers, using and discarding plastic indiscriminately, emitting harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and relying on fossil fuels to power automobiles and factories. As a result, biodiversity is becoming ever more endangered and global temperatures continue to rise.
