🔸 World Wildlife Fund report on a 73% decline in the wild animal population

According to a new report by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), wildlife populations around the world are in sharp decline.

This organization's data shows that the population of studied wildlife species has declined by almost three-quarters (73 percent) on average between 1970 and 2022; However, the restoration of many of these populations will be possible if serious protection of nature is done.

The highest rate of decline in freshwater and in Latin America the most severe rate of decline with an average of 85% is associated with the animals in freshwater habitats including fish, hippos and otters. Meanwhile, wildlife populations have declined by 69% on land and 59% in seas and oceans.

Geographically, the largest decline was recorded in South America and the Caribbean with a 95% decline, followed by Africa with an 80% decline. However, this decline does not include all species; About half of the surveyed populations were stable or growing.
