Losing the World's Wildlife

The world's biodiversity is shrinking:

The Living Planet Index monitors more than 1,400 species. From 1970 to 2005 the report shows an overall fall in population trends of 27%.

The declines are due to human activity such as habitat destruction, pollution, overexploitation such as fishing, the spread of invasive species and climate change.

Human beings are not separate from the rest of life on this planet. We are integrally part of it and dependent on it.
