Human land use drives microplastic abundance in terrestrial wildlife
Nature, Published online: 11 November 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11285-xMicroplastic burdens in Brazilian tapirs and anteaters rise with human-modified land use and proximity to development, however animals in remote habitats also carry microplastics, showing that landscape change and individual space use jointly shape wildlife exposure.
