The loss of observations of key Earth system components and processes will weaken the ability to understand and forecast changes arising from interactions and feedbacks within the Earth system and limit the data and information available to users and decision makers.
"The proposed road could lead to the collapse of the largest remaining migratory system on Earth - a system that drives Tanzania's tourism trade and supports thousands of people, " the appeal said.
The migration of the wildebeest was the "largest remaining migratory system on Earth", they said.
Scientific evidence shows that humanity has put the functioning of the Earth system at risk.
Meanwhile, the data has been published in the journal Earth System Science Data Discussions.
It's a question that one academic grouping, the Earth System Governance Project, has spent a decade researching.
To take responsibility for visiting and training programmes in areas of interest to the Earth System Physics section.

It is not circling the Earth but orbits a point in the Sun-Earth system called the second Lagrange point.
"This requires fundamental reorientation and restructuring of national and international institutions toward more effective Earth system governance and planetary stewardship, " they write.

The report covers all DIVERSITAS activities including its work on the interface between science and policy making, developing cross-cutting networks, the Earth System Science Partnership, etc.
The only thing we are unsure about is how long it will take for the Earth system to display those atmospheric changes as climate change phenomena.
The amount of energy available in the Earth system to be extracted by wind turbines is limited, and if sufficient energy is removed the world climate will be affected.
FORBES: Researchers Warn Of Climatic Consequences To Harvesting Wind Energy On Mass Scale
All that scientists can do is formulate models and it seems to me that the model needed is one that accurately describes the entire climatic system of the earth, a gargantuan task in itself.
The probe's five-year mission is the cornerstone of a NASA science program called Living with a Star, which aims to help scientists better understand aspects of the sun-Earth system that affect our lives and society.
But if the hazard information provided as input is inadequate, estimates of risk will be inaccurate, " said workshop director Abdelkrim Aoudia of ICTP's Earth System Physics section, adding, "Therefore, this workshop will focus specifically on issues that can lead to erroneous estimates of seismic hazard.
Noting that we are now in a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, as humans are the major changing force of the Earth system, she explained that the answers provided by technological solutions can only go so far it they do not come with social transformation as well.
While presently only 0.03 TW of energy was extracted from wind in 2008, and there is room for a considerable expansion of this technology with relatively insignificant effects on the climate, any future expansion on a global scale must take account that the potential for extraction of wind energy is finite according to the nature of the Earth system.
FORBES: Researchers Warn Of Climatic Consequences To Harvesting Wind Energy On Mass Scale
We believe that in its early history - remember, Earth and Mars, the solar system, 4.6 billion years old. 4.6 billion years old the age of Earth and Mars and the solar system.
Launched on 18 December, 1999, Terra is the flagship of Nasa's Earth Observing System series of satellites.
This includes a fundamental reorientation and restructuring of national and international institutions to move to effective Earth-system governance.
The navigation system can display Google Earth imagery beneath the map overlay, which is sure to keep passengers entertained.
FORBES: 2012 Audi A7 Test Drive and Review - High-Tech Meets High Style
Terra was launched on 18 December 1999 and is regarded as the flagship of Nasa's Earth Observing System series of satellites.
ASRGs would give TiME sufficient energy to support a very capable instrument suite and a direct-to-Earth communications system to get its data home.
And the hole's outer edge is roughly where rocky planets, like the inner planets of this solar system (including the earth), are expected to be.
Finding five planets in a solar system other than the Earth's represents a record, and is all the more impressive because many astronomers thought it would not be possible to disentangle so many signals.
We will learn more about how the solar system formed, where Earth' water and organics originated and how life might be sustained in places far from our Earth's atmosphere and expand the boundaries of human exploration.
Recognition was given to the fact that human activity had driven the planet into a new epoch, the Anthropocene, in which many Earth-system processes and the living fabric of ecosystems are now dominated by human activities.
