Wildlife populations down 73% since 1970, report finds
Original: Wildlife populations have shrunk 73% since 1970. A new report argues there is still a case for hope
A major new report finds that monitored wildlife populations have declined by an average of 73% since 1970, driven largely by habitat loss, overexploitation and climate change. Despite the stark figures, the report argues there is still a case for hope, pointing to conservation successes and the potential to reverse losses if urgent action is taken this decade.
Why now: The striking 73% decline figure and the report's message that recovery is still possible are driving widespread coverage.
