There is some debate over the severity of declining trends in the global mammal and the broader vertebrate population: while the Living Planet Report of the World Wide Fund for Nature reported a 68% decline in the aggregate wild vertebrate populations since 1970, [39] [40] [4] a scientific reanalysis of its data in Nature found that 98.6% of ...
The World Wildlife Fund’s Living Planet Report 2022 found that wildlife populations declined by an average 69% since 1970. [1] [2] [3]The Living Planet Index (LPI) is an indicator of the state of global biological diversity, based on trends in vertebrate populations of species from around the world.
According to the most recent Living Planet Report Canada, species that are deemed at-risk of extinction have experienced an average population decline of 59% compared to 1970. [23] Today, there are more than 600 plant and animal species throughout Canada that are listed on the Federal Species at Risk Act. [23]
The 2018 report found a "decline of 60% in population sizes" of vertebrate species overall from 1970 to 2014. The tropics of South and Central America had an 89% loss compared to 1970. [2] These claims have been criticized by some studies such as the research group led by Brian Leung and including Maria Dornelas. [3]

The World Wildlife Fund's Living Planet Report 2024 found that wildlife populations declined by an average 73% since 1970. [32] [33] [34] During the last century, decreases in biodiversity have been increasingly observed. It was estimated in 2007 that up to 30% of all species will be extinct by 2050. [4]
