Consumer Habits of , Rich Nations Driving Extinction , of Species Worldwide.
According to a study by the University of Sydney, the
consumer habits of wealthy countries could unintentionally
be driving the extinction of species in poorer countries. .
Those habits are also responsible for
39% of the extinction-risk footprint
for the entire world.
'The independent' reports that
the study focused on over
5,000 species in 188 countries.
Researchers found that the consumer habits of just 76 countries were the primary cause of species extinction risk in the other 112 countries. .
Most of the countries responsible were concentrated in , Europe, North America and East Asia.
A recent Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) assessment report found that 1 million species already face extinction.
Many of those species , face extinction , within just decades. .
