Others may feel that a system is only healthy when it is pristine and no human activity is allowed. Sustainable Forests or Sustainable Profits? Erle Ellis is Associate Professor of Geography and Environmental Systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where he teaches Environmental Science, Landscape Ecology and Biogeochemistry. Using a new method, scientists at the University of Adelaide, SA, have confirmed that human-induced pressures, and not an epidemic, wiped out the Tasmanian tiger or thylacine, which became extinct in the 1930s. The eastern and southern half of the country, its seacoast fringed with offshore islands, is a region of fertile lowlands and foothills with most of the agricultural output and human population. The article introduces the notion of the economic and cultural complex (ECC) as a unit for integrated economic and cultural analysis in human geography, and develops a formalized method for the identification of such complexes with the help of cartographic regionalization and statistical clustering on the basis of ethnic, cultural First, economic and cultural types reflect differences in adaption to the landscapes of the human production activities that preceded industrial production. Some video footage shown on documentaries such as National Geographic reveal how barbaric and wasteful this practice is. Human geography concerns the understanding of the dynamics of cultures, societies and economies, and physical geography concerns the understanding of the dynamics of physical landscapes and the environments. Wonderful Atlas of the Rural Irish Landscape coins a nice epigram, ”Landscape is history in slow motion”, which neatly sums up the constant circle of interaction between physical environment, geography, and the human activities that depend on it, overlay it What the Atlas shows again and again is just how false this notion is, by disentangling the countless human choices that have accumulated in our landscapes, century after century, millennium after millennium. This exceptional capacity for ecosystem engineering, expressed in the form of agriculture, forestry, industry and other activities, has helped to sustain unprecedented population growth, such that humans now consume about one third of all terrestrial net . The western and northern half of China . Massive Extinctions From Human Activity; Declining amphibian populations; Reptiles threatened by climate change, deforestation, habitat loss, trade; Dwindling fish stocks; Declining Ocean Biodiversity; Inland water ecosystems; Loss of forests equates to a loss of many species. For some, “healthy” may mean being able to do a favorite wildlife-viewing activity, such as scuba diving.
