“…According to Woodburn et al [24], accumulation of Al causes inflammation in the hepatopancreas of fresh-water organisms; another study on aquatic invertebrates reported, lower survival rates with the increasing Al concentration [25]. Comparably, exposure to Al reportedly caused metabolic depression and oxidative damages in fresh-water invertebrates [26]. Accumulation of the Al induces the imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant capacity in the cells.…”

“…It is also critical to address unique risks from launches, including pollution from speci c chemicals and toxicities in rocket fuels 17,37 . Such some study on it has started; one has shown that aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) released from aluminized solid rocket fuel can cause neurotoxicity and metabolic depression in freshwater shrimps (Macrobrachium jelskii) 47 .…”

Satellite technologies are essential for global conserving through providing continuous, real-time Earth monitoring. However, development of these technologies necessitates an increase in rocket launches, which introduces new threats to biodiversity. Here, we mapped rocket launch sites (RLS) and assessed their threats on conservation. Globally, over 90% RLS are within areas where unprotected habitats excesses 50% and over 62% of operating RLS are located within or near protected areas (PA). Importantly, the threats of RLS on conservation are more associated with specific biomes of their location, than responding to latitudinal, longitudinal, and inland versus coastal geographical patterns. Specifically, threatened terrestrial species in Tropical & Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests (TSMBF) are more susceptible to risks from launches than those in other biomes. Our results suggest that without strategic planning for RLS, growing launches could create conflicts between conservation efforts and technology development, compromising the conservation achievement of UN Biological Diversity Goals.
