The average size of global wildlife populations have declined by 73% in 50 years, a new study by the World Wildlife Fund has found.. The study, titled the 2024 Living Planet Report, monitored ...
Species biodiversity and wildlife population numbers have been declining in Canada for decades. 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]
The Atlantic fishery abruptly collapsed in 1993, following overfishing since the late-1950s, and an earlier partial collapse in the 1970s. [1] It is expected to recover to historical, sustainable levels by 2030. [2] In 1992, Northern Cod populations fell to 1% of historical levels, due in large part to decades of overfishing. [3]
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.
A shocking new report on global biodiversity is detailing what it calls "a catastrophic decline" in wildlife populations ahead of a ... salmon dropped 88% since 1970. The Shasta Dam blocked off ...
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]
As wood bison species became threatened with the hybridization, relocation and breeding conservation programs specific to wood bison were established in 1963. The population increased steadily. From the 1970s to the 1990s, however, the population began to decline again because of the spread of bovine tuberculosis. The disease had accompanied ...
The world's population numbered nearly 7.6 billion as of mid-2017 and is forecast to peak toward the end of the 21st century at 10–12 billion people. [148] Scholars have argued that population size and growth, along with overconsumption, are significant factors in biodiversity loss and soil degradation.
