Wildlife populations have fallen 73%, scientists say recovery possible
Original: Wildlife is down 73%. Scientists say nature can still recover.
The World Wildlife Fund reports that monitored wildlife populations have declined by an average of 73% since 1970, according to its latest global assessment. Scientists stress that the finding is alarming but not irreversible: with urgent action on habitat loss, climate change and overexploitation, nature can still recover. Conservationists are calling on governments to treat the report as a warning and act this decade.
Why now: The release of a major global wildlife report showing a steep decline in animal populations is prompting widespread discussion about biodiversity loss.
