I have taken in the suggestions from the peer review and some suggested that the portal already meets the requirements to become a featured portal. So I will try nominate this portal as a featured portal.

Comment: As noted in the peer review, the intent of this portal appears to be more about promoting
Environmentalism and
Conservation, rather than showcasing the Wikipedia topic covered in the title article. It appears to me both the portal and the related project by the same name are mislabeled. With a rename, this portal would seem to be on target. As it stands now, it runs the risk of digressing into what would come off as POV pushing.

I think you misunderstood the scope. The scope of the WikiProject and the portal is to display the effects of humans on the natural environment. The first paragraph of the title article is just an introduction to "what is environment". The second paragraph is the main body of the title article. Also, as defined in
Wikipedia:Portal, portals should "promote content and encourage contribution".

I expressed my interpretation of the peer review comments. I don't support promoting this portal as it stands, but I didn't oppose it either. I'm more than happy to let others draw their own conclusions. Hopefully, some editors not involved with the related projects will weigh in.

Support. Certainly was well overdue. You piped me at the post on this one. I like the "Show new selections" button (and my waterfall photo!). Colours are almost a bit too dark but that is a minor niggle.

Many selected articles, DYK, and selected quotes all surround the idea of human impacts on the environment. Of course, it's impossible to edit those mainspace articles (such as
Acid rain,
Desertification,
Eutrophication) to contain only the effects caused by humans. If you think it still has a lot to de desired, I can edit the introduction section.
