> The ecology of fear, the idea that the presence of a predator causes a cascade of ecological effects across a landscape, is a fundamental concept in wildlife ecology. In recent years, ecologists have come to appreciate how much animals, even apex predators, fear humans, with myriad effects on animal behaviors and, in turn, ecosystems.

Ecologist Asia Murphy writes about humans' role in the "ecology of fear" and the implications for wildlife management & conservation: https://www.americanscientist.org/article/a-landscape-of-fear-of-humans

"Breaking Boundaries" is a good documentary on planetary boundaries and the perils of infinite growth on a finite planet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Boundaries

Most discussions about the climate crisis are centred around emissions of vehicles and industries. This documentary explores 9 different planetary boundaries of which atmospheric pollution is just one.

It features actual climate scientists and conservationists; not people parroting the ideologies of billionaires.
