A range of "transformative changes" -- like a revamped food production system and reworked financial sector -- are needed to save nature and humanity from climate change and other threats, according to a soon-to-be-released report. Humans are dumping up to 400 million tons of heavy metals, toxic sludge and other waste into oceans and rivers each year. According to the forthcoming report, shrinking habitats, land-use change and climate change are some of the main causes of nature's degradation. The 1,800-page report, discussed during week-long negotiations in Paris, is set to be publicly unveiled May 6. "Feeding the world in a sustainable manner entails the transformation of food systems," the report notes.
