Nature

The study of nature, from plants and soil, to humans and wildlife has always played an important role in the field of science. As humans we have a huge impact on the planet, more often than not, in a negative sense. It has been estimated that by 2050 the Earth’s human population will exceed 9 billion. Where does the food comes from to feed all those people? Where do they live? How can they coexist without destroying the habitat of many animals or natural resources? And how will their lifestyles impact the climate change? More about Nature
