Más de dos tercios de las áreas vírgenes que quedan en el planeta están en manos de sólo cinco países, según un nuevo mapa mundial. En necesario un esfuerzo de conservación unánime para salvar los últimos espacios salvajes de la Tierra.
More than two-thirds of Earth’s remaining wilderness is in the hands of just five countries, according to a new global map. A concerted conservation effort is needed to save our last wild places.

Hace 146 años, el Parque Nacional de Yellowstone, en Estados Unidos, se convirtió en la primera zona protegida del mundo. Hoy hay más de 200.000 reservas naturales.
The world’s national parks cover an area bigger than South America. But a new survey finds that one-third of this area is subject to pressure from human developments, potentially putting wildlife at risk.
Since 1992, an area of land two-thirds the size of Australia has been converted to human use.
