Indirect car certaines de nos activités entraînent des changements climatiques, affectant ainsi la flore et la faune terrestres et marines. Direct parce que nous poussons les espèces vulnérables au seuil de l'extinction en les chassant et en les surexploitant. L'assaut est à la fois direct et indirect. Néanmoins, tous les êtres vivants sur cette planète ont été soumis à un assaut sans précédent de la part de l'humanité. La valeur instrumentale de la biodiversité a été la pierre angulaire de débats importants sur sa perte, qui, sans aucun doute, aura un impact négatif sur notre environnement en réduisant ou en supprimant les services écosystémiques que la plupart d'entre nous apprécient, à tel point que notre bien-être en dépend. (Some of the reflection could be caused by plankton blooms or other features.) One major lesson is that our natural capital assets and other public goods are far too valuable to continue to put them at such high risk from private interests. We need better (not necessarily more) regulation and strong incentives to protect these assets against actions that put them at risk.

We need to learn from this experience so we can prevent future oil spills, reevaluate society's current trajectory, and set a better course. Estimates of its size and impact continue to escalate, but it is now the largest in U.S. history and clearly among the largest oil spills on record.
