Human Impacts

Some are calling this the 'Anthropocene' epoch, such is the extent of our impact on our environment. We are witnessing unprecedented rates of extinction. This shows some of the species suffering the effects of our overly exploitative attitude to nature.

Not only do other species have intrinsic value on their own, but we depend on 'ecosystem services' and simply cannot afford to ignore this crisis.

Many thanks to the photographers who kindly gave me permission to use their work: Alan Cleaver, Jesse Yardley and Anita Martinz.
