Sixteen years of change in the global terrestrial human footprint and implications for biodiversity conservation
Habitat loss and urbanization are primary components of human impact on the environment. Here, Venter et al.use global data on infrastructure, agriculture, and urbanization to show that the human footprint is growing slower than the human population, but footprints are increasing in biodiverse regio...
