People have shaped most of terrestrial nature for at least 12,000 years
The study finds that human societies have shaped nearly three-quarters of Earth's land for at least 12,000 years, challenging the notion of pristine wilderness. The current biodiversity crisis is primarily driven by appropriation and intensification of land use in already inhabited areas rather than the conversion of untouched ecosystems, suggesting that incorporating Indigenous and local community stewardship is essential for effective conservation.
