Copyright issues
The first sentence of the article is copy/pasted from this source and the "Risk of collapse" section close paraphrases the same source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Merging ecological collapse into this article
Simply put: not only is ecological collapse a small, Start-class article, but more importantly, this term is not used in any of the WP:RS cited, all of which simply refer to ecosystem collapse (if they refer to a collapse in the first place). The only inline citation which appears to use this term is a 2012 article from a website called "TreeHugger", which is clearly not considered a reliable source. Neither the original study, nor a contemporary BBC article about it actually use this wording. Without it, all of the content can be easily merged into this article.

 * Support - the proposal to merge makes sense to me. EMsmile (talk) 08:13, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
