WWF’s 2020 Living Planet Report held some alarming news: The world has seen an average 68% drop in mammal, bird, fish, reptile, and amphibian populations since 1970. Much of the loss is caused by habitat destruction due to unsustainable agriculture or logging.
Biodiversity has declined by more than a quarter in the last 35 years. The Living Planet Index (LPI) shows a decline of 52 per cent between 1970 and 2010. That's not good news. In general terms, population growth and our consumption are the reasons for this enormous loss.

30 Σεπ 2020 · Human activities are destroying the natural world, leading to the extinction of animal and plant species at an alarming rate. Now, world leaders are promising action to tackle the problem.
2 Δεκ 2022 · Today, Earth’s staggering biodiversity is in a state of crisis: species are disappearing faster than ever in human history. Globally, at least 1.2 million plant and animal species are estimated to be under threat of extinction, many of them before 2100.
Nature loss has far-reaching consequences. Damaged ecosystems exacerbate climate change, undermine food security and put people and communities at risk. Around 3.2 billion people, or 40 percent of the global population, are adversely affected by land degradation.
