What Covers Our Planet?
This stunning graphic breaks down Earth's surface:
1. 71% is Ocean – with 60% being vast Open Ocean and 11% Coastal Ocean.
2. 29% is Land – only 3% is Crop Land, 7% Pasture Land, 8% Forests, 3% Antarctica, and 8% labeled as Other.
And did you know Coastal Blue Carbon ecosystems like mangroves make up less than 1%, yet are crucial for carbon storage?
The Earth may feel big, but this shows just how little is usable land, and how precious every part is. 🌱💧
