Environmental pressures, such as oil and gas infrastructure, agricultural lands and urban sprawl, are the actions taken by humans with the potential to harm nature. These pressures are changing spatially and temporally, with profound implications for the planet’s biodiversity. For instance, environmental pressures are now so ubiquitous that they are precipitating a new epoch, dubbed the Anthropocene, and concurrently a global mass extinction crisis.

环境压力，如石油和天然气基础设施、农业用地和城市扩张，是人类采取的可能损害自然的行动。这些压力在空间和时间上都在发生变化，对地球的生物多样性产生了深远的影响。例如，环境压力现在无处不在，它们正在促成一个被称为人类世的新时代，同时也是一场全球大规模灭绝危机。
