This picture is about past and present trends on ecosystem loss. The figure includes the marine, terrestrial , freshwater and vertebrate species. This all species decrease a lot during the 40 years.

Now I’m going to speack about terrestrial ecosystem loss. This picture is about deforestation, the net loss of forest is mainly in the south of America. However the net gain of forest is located mainly in America AND EUROPE

THE FOLLOWING MAP SHOWS HOW MARINE DEAD ZONES ARE GLOBALLY DISTRIBUTED. MOREOVER, THE BAR CHART SHOWS THE DRAMATICALLY INCREASING NUMBER OF DEAD ZONES FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PAST CENTURY TO THE PRESENT DAYS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF DEAD ZONES IS CONCENTRATED AROUND INDUSTRIAL AND RICH COUNTRIES SUCH AS THE USA, EUROPE AND JAPAN WHERE POLLUTION LEVELS ARE VERY HIGH AND FISHING IS BROUGHT TO AN EXCESSIVE EXTENT.

This is an effect on species loss. But you have also the pollution that you can show on this photos.
