There is a whole Earth full of reasons for you to make a gift to Ecological Internet now. In a couple hundred years human populations have increased nearly seven fold and their resource use has led to wealth for some, while destroying the Earth and her ecosystems, which provide habitat for all. Any one of the crises of scarce water, dead oceans, chaotic atmosphere, degraded forests, disappearing species and incipient toxics could lead to more mass extinction and even the fall of civilization. Together they almost certainly will.

The root cause of this global ecological crisis is societies extracting too much natural capital while destroying global ecosystems, in combination with over-population and inequitable consumption. The biosphere, the very foundation of being, is failing; leading to growing extreme economic and biological poverty. Nothing can be done for the Earth and humanity’s future unless these massive catastrophes are fully recognized and adequately addressed.
