Answer:

4568

Explanation:

The latest update on the number of critically endangered species is from the year of 2014, thus five years ago. As of this year, there have been 4568 species that have been placed in this category, 2464 of which are animal species, and 2104 are plant species. In order for a species of plant or animal to be placed in this category it needs to be on the verge of dying out in the wild because it has only very small number of individuals left in the wild that can produce the new generations. Unfortunately, the number of the critically endangered species has constantly been on the rise, and in the most recent history the blame for that falls on the humans and their activities. Some species that fall into this category are the Chinese alligator, Sumatran rhinoceros, eastern gorilla, vaquita, Iberian lynx...

Vera decides to eat the same kinds of foods as before, but to purchase as many of these foods as possible from local farms. Will
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

According to research, it does not affect her ecological footprint. It is reduced only in cases where farmers use rotational farming, multi-cropping, and polyculture.

Explanation:

In recent times, buying organic food from local farms has become more popular because of <u>the amount of chemicals that many fruits and vegetables from supermarkerts have due to the use of fertilizers and pesticides</u>. This indicates that, <u>by consuming organic aliments, there is a reduced probability of ingesting toxic chemicals. Plus, it supports local farmers, which is a great advantage. </u>

These benefits led to believe that consuming organic food could affect or lower our ecological footprint. However, according to research from 2017, purchasing local or organic food does not reduce our ecological footprint. This study showed that both types of agriculture release the same amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. However, <u>there are some techniques, such as rotational farming, multi-cropping, and polyculture that could reduce land use and could actually reduce our carbon footprint.</u>
