Scientists warn and call for the protection of our planet

Abstract

We have never been in the history of mankind as a species in such a moment and place. We have never faced such a challenge during our stay on this planet. Such a great mobilization of scientists from around the world has never happened before. At the end of 2017, an appeal of scientists to humanity (World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity: A Second Notice) was published in the prestigious journal “Bioscience” [1]. The article was written by an international team led by William Ripple, distinguished professor in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University. The warning was signed by 15,364 representatives of the science from 184 countries.
