Answer to Question 1

Four global trends are particularly unhealthy: (1) increasing population growth and its detrimental effects on human well-being, (2) a decline of vital ecosystem services, (3) the negative impacts of global climate change, and (4) a loss of biodiversity.

Answer to Question 2

The environmentalist's paradox refers to the observation that human well-being appears to be increasing while the health of ecosystems has been declining. As human population numbers increase (a seemingly positive thing for the human population), the repercussions for the ecosystems that support humans are dramatic.
