TL;DR: The 1992 "World Scientists' Warning to Humanity" as mentioned in this paper warned that humans were on a collision course with the natural world and that fundamental changes were urgently needed to avoid the consequences our present course would bring.

TL;DR: The rate of large herbivore decline suggests that ever-larger swaths of the world will soon lack many of the vital ecological services these animals provide, resulting in enormous ecological and social costs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a paper on the African Climate and Development Initiative (ACDI) in South Africa, focusing on the effects of climate change on the local environment.

TL;DR: An analysis showing that bushmeat hunting for mostly food and medicinal products is driving a global crisis whereby 301 terrestrial mammal species are threatened with extinction, and proposes a multi-pronged conservation strategy to help save threatened mammals from immediate extinction and avoid a collapse of food security for hundreds of millions of people.

TL;DR: The extent to which human-provided foods are utilised by terrestrial mammalian predators across the globe is reviewed and whether these resources have a direct impact on the ecology and behaviour of predators and an indirect impact on other co-occurring species is assessed.
