Our planet faces serious threats but fortunately there are solutions and you can do all of them! Today I am going to talk to you about an issue that contains one of the greatest challenges of our time and which, fortunately, is followed by good news full of effective solutions. And maybe you didn't know it, but the way we relate to the animals with whom we share the planet is the main reason for its devastation. Many of us may not yet be fully aware of this, but the reality is that it is urgent that we take measures as soon as possible to mitigate our impact on the planet and avoid more catastrophes than we can hardly face. According to the FAO, if there is a limit to the planet's resources , that is, as much as it may seem impossible to us, they will not last forever if we continue consuming them at a rate as devastating as the current one.

Understanding this involves knowing the link that exists Ca Cell Numbers between each of these resources and what is threatening their existence. Oxygen: Fish and the ocean crisis With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you are connected to the sea. Silvia Erle, Oceanographer and explorer. Please pay close attention to the figures that will be given to you below. Actually, our planet should be called Water instead of Earth since oceans occupy 70% of its surface area. This is why they provide 50% of the oxygen we breathe and absorb no more and no less than 30% of the CO2 that human activity generates. Of course all this is possible thanks to the immense number of species of plants and animals that the oceans house and whose number is comparable to that of the terrestrial environment.



But human activity, and specifically the appetite for the meat of these animals, is destroying life in the seas. Industrial fishing is responsible for this since every year it drags in its gigantic nets - which take with it any type of animal without distinction - and kills a number of fish equivalent to the human population of 230 planets on Earth, not to mention the number of discarded animals because they are not commercial. Yes, there are solutions and a great tool The situation is so critical that it is estimated that by the year there will be no fish in the seas. But if there is a solution to this serious problem, and the wonderful thing is that it depends absolutely on us: if we reduce or eliminate the consumption of fish and other marine animals, we could avoid reaching a point of no return that will entail terrible consequences for our lives in the future. planet.
