A new World Wildlife Fund report documents a 73% decline in the size of monitored wildlife populations over 53 years, underlining the scale of the global biodiversity crisis. One bright spot stands out: green turtle numbers are recovering, credited to conservation measures including egg relocation, marine protected areas and bans on trade. The findings are drawing attention as a mix of alarming data and proof that targeted protection can work.

Why now: The report's stark 73% decline figure, paired with the green turtle recovery story, is prompting fresh debate about biodiversity loss and conservation success.
