This percentage is drastically lower than past assessments, which estimated it to be between 20% and 40%, because it factored in loss of species from intact habitat as well as reduced populations of species. A restoration focus of specific species in intact habitat could recover ecological integrity to about 20% of land.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-04-earth-area-longer-ecologically-intact.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">97% of Earth&#8217;s land area may no longer be ecologically intact<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only between 2% and 3% of the Earth&#8217;s terrestrial surface can be considered ecologically intact, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change.
