Cambodia – Fishing communities and overfishing

Posted on February 4, 2021 by Opher

The excited kids ran along the banks and waved to us. The whole river was one massive fishing enterprise with all manner of methods. It was a wonder that any fish survived!

Even the tiny fish were taken and ground into fish paste. It was all sold in the local markets.

The overfishing, on commercial and family enterprise, was taking all the fish. It was obvious to me that this could not possibly be sustainable.

Anthropocen Apocalypse – Chilling confirmation!

Posted on October 2, 2014 by Opher

The chilling news that is emerging about the state of the planet’s environment is confirming the message in my book the Anthropocene Apocalypse. Scientific evidence now shows that over the past four decades:

There has been a global 45% reduction in invertebrates
There has been a global 56% reduction in mammals
Human beings and their pets and livestock now make up 95% of all mammalian life
That the destruction of forests is unsustainable
The destruction of wild mammals is unsustainable
That fishing is unsustainable
That pollution is global
That global warming as a result of human activity is undeniable
That human overpopulation is the cause
That the population of humans is out of control and catastrophic

My book is a Biologists personal observations of the devastation we are causing globally and what we need to urgently do to put it right.

Please read it and help stop this destruction from taking place.
