3. Human Well-being and
Environmental Health
Deforestation - 46-58 million square miles of forest
are lost each year.
Land degradation overall has increased from 15% to
25% of all lands over the last 20 years.
Climate Change will profoundly affect ecosystem
functioning.
Sustained lost of biodiversity with 2020 targets
that will slow the loss, not reverse it.

5. The Link to Human Health
1/6 of the World’s Population Depends on Protected Areas for
Their Livelihoods (COBD 2010).
Of the 1.2 Billion undernourished, 90% depends on forests for their
livelihood (World Bank 2003).
Effects of PPA on local populations are debated in literature.
While many of the world’s population struggle to attain a livelihood
around protected areas, developed countries such as the US and
Australia are promoting PAs as places that can improve mental and
physical well-being.
