Wildlife populations fell 73% between 1970 and 2020
Original: Between 1970 and 2020, wildlife populations dropped 73% (2024)
The 2024 Living Planet Report found that monitored wildlife populations declined by an average of 73% between 1970 and 2020, with the steepest losses in freshwater ecosystems and in Latin America and the Caribbean. Scientists behind the report warn the decline is pushing ecosystems toward tipping points and are calling for urgent action on habitat loss, climate change and unsustainable food systems ahead of global biodiversity talks.
Why now: The stark 73% figure from the 2024 Living Planet Report has reignited debate about the scale of the biodiversity crisis.
