Surely the direct driver with the largest relative global impact is the increase in human population? Any reason why this isn't number 1 on the list.

Them overpopulation problem, is probably the major driving force.

Humans are one of the destructive invasive species, we are wiping out our loyal neighbour's insect, animals, plants and polluting every ecosystem as we can and so on...

Plastic, plastic, plastic...take note of it.

The first one is the cattle raising, approximately 60-80% of the Amazon deforestation is related to it. We must to reduce the meat consumption

Having listed these 5 direct drivers that have a negative impact, I'd like to ask: What are the 5 things I, as an individual, can start doing right now that have the largest positive impact on our environment?

WRONG You are missing the Number 1 thing that is and will continue to destroy humankind, natural capital & ecosystem services unless actions are taken immediately & globally.
Replying to @IPBES @ippcnews
My prediction is that within 3 years there will be global ecosystem services & natural capital issue that will be totally out of control. Your 5 ‘themes’ are stresses they are not the major symptoms.
