📢 #Biodiversity is key to agriculture and human well-being, but it's declining. And livestock is contributing to this.🐂🌎🌺

More sustainable livestock practices can help reduce biodiversity loss and restore our ecosystems.

RT @NOAAResearch: A study from @noaa_aoml shows that even the most remote areas of the ocean are impacted by human activity.

Environmental changes around Antarctica due to human activity are causing weaker deep sea circulation & rise in sea level in the North Atlantic.
