Humans have severely impacted ecosystems in much of the world. Human impacts can be traced back thousands of years, but the most severe ones have occurred in recent centuries. They are concentrated in areas with the highest land - use activity, but are detectable to some extent in most of the world. We can group the human impacts into six major classes: Reduction, Fragmentation, Substitution, Simplification, Contamination, and Overgrowth. Choose one of the classes and describe what the impact is. Provide a specific example in the world that is different from what other have chosen. (Example if some talks about deforestation, you cannot talk about this except to comment to the original post) How long has this human impact been apart of the cultural landscape and how long has it been a significant problem. You should have at least one source of data to support your post. You can use something as simple as: According to the New York Times April 10, 2022 the worst destruction was the forest fires in recent years. Then at the end, put a link to the source.
