Ecological Footprint Quiz

Last night I found something interesting which is related to the World conservation and people awareness (maybe). Actually it is quiz called ‘Ecological Footprint Quiz’ and I did enjoy the quiz. The result show as below:

What can we say about it? We need more space to support our interests, needs and so on… and just imagine if single person need an average of 3.2 GLOBAL HECTARES per person. And it is equal to 3 planets in order to support the way of life. Is it possible? Let’s think about it….

WHAT ABOUT OTHER SPECIES?

Humans are not alone on this planet – we share it with at least 10 million other species. Some species, like rats and the flu virus, benefit from living alongside people. People breed other species, like corn and cows, because we want their products. Still others, like tigers, redwoods, and beetles in the forest, are in danger of dying out because of human activities.

Conservation biologists believe that it may require 30-70% of the biosphere simply to maintain biodiversity – nature’s complex web of interdependent life-forms. Currently, about 3% is set aside as protected parks or reserves. The United Nation's Brundtland Commission suggested the politically courageous, but ecologically insufficient goal of increasing the world's protected area to 12% of the biosphere. To accommodate these other species, how much of the Earth’s biologically productive area do you think should be set aside for them? Let’s think about it….
