LIFE ON EARTH
A WORLD FULL OF LIFE.
From forests and oceans to the smallest organisms, life on Earth is connected through ecosystems that support the planet and the people who depend on it.
FORESTS
Forest ecosystems provide habitat, store carbon and support countless forms of life.
OCEANS
Marine ecosystems connect communities, species and environments across the planet.
WILDLIFE
Every species plays a role within the ecosystems where it lives.
04 — THE BIG PICTURE
LOOK CLOSER
THE PLANET IS CONNECTED.
Climate, water, forests, oceans and biodiversity are not separate stories. They are parts of the same living system — and the choices we make can affect it.
CLIMATE
A CHANGING CLIMATE CHANGES LIVES.
Look beyond a single temperature or storm. Climate change can influence water, ecosystems, food systems and communities.
OCEANS
WHAT REACHES THE WATER DOES NOT DISAPPEAR.
Plastic, pollution and warming can place pressure on marine ecosystems that connect life across the planet.
BIODIVERSITY
EVERY SPECIES IS PART OF A LARGER STORY.
Protecting habitats helps preserve the relationships that allow ecosystems to function and recover.
05 — STORIES & MEDIA
SEE IT. UNDERSTAND IT.
REAL PLACES. REAL STORIES.
Images and videos can make environmental change easier to understand. Use the media below as a starting point for exploring the evidence.
CLIMATE & WATER
WHEN A LANDSCAPE CHANGES, PEOPLE NOTICE.
Drought, heat and changing water availability can reshape landscapes and the communities that depend on them.

EVIDENCE MATTERS
REAL DATA.
REAL SOURCES.
EARTH//ACTION uses information from scientific and public institutions. Environmental facts should be traceable, understandable and easy to verify.
NASA reports unequivocal evidence that Earth is warming and identifies human activity as the principal cause of the current warming trend.
NASA Science →NASA reports that the ocean has absorbed much of the excess heat added to the Earth system.
NASA Evidence →UNEP describes biodiversity and ecosystem services as important to a sustainable future for people and the planet.
UNEP →FAO reports that food loss and waste affect food security, natural resources, ecosystems and greenhouse-gas emissions.
FAO →The U.S. EPA provides guidance on reducing waste, reuse, recycling, composting and responsible management of materials.
