Breaching Planetary Boundaries: Over Half of Global Land Faces Critical Losses in Biosphere Integrity



A groundbreaking new study has revealed a worrying truth human activities have pushed the planet’s life-support systems beyond safe limits. planetary  Scientists report that more than 50% of Earth’s land area is now experiencing severe declines in functional biosphere integrity, meaning ecosystems are losing their ability to sustain biodiversity and provide essential services like clean water, fertile soil, and climate regulation.

The findings highlight how rapid deforestation, industrial agriculture, urban expansion, and pollution are eroding natural resilience. Once-thriving ecosystems are now struggling to regenerate, threatening food security, wildlife survival, and even human health.

Experts warn that this breach of planetary boundaries is not just an environmental issue but a global crisis. Urgent measures—such as protecting natural habitats, restoring degraded land, and shifting toward sustainable farming and energy systems—are essential to halt further damage.

The study underscores a stark reality: safeguarding Earth’s biosphere is no longer optional—it’s a survival imperative.
