| Featuring data from 35,000 populations of more than 5,000 species of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish, the WWF Living Planet Index shows accelerating declines across the globe. In biodiversity-rich regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean, the figure for animal population loss is as high as 95 percent. The report tracks trends in the abundance of a large number of species, not individual animal numbers. It found that populations under review had fallen 73 percent since 1970, mostly due to human pressures. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20241010-wildlife-populations-plunge-73-since-1970-wwf we are in the 6th mass extinction https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/what-is-the-sixth-mass-extinction-and-what-can-we-do-about-it |
