This is shown in the chart. Understanding the broad range of changes in populations is crucial if we’re to stop biodiversity loss – we need to know that not all animal populations are declining. We need to also know which populations are doing well and why they’re doing well.

The chart below compares the LPI in 2022 and 2024 globally and for different regions. You can see that the whole lines have shifted, rather than the decline accelerating in the two most recent years. ... What we need to do to slow biodiversity loss is clear. Reduce the amount of land we use for agriculture. Bring deforestation to an end. Use ...

The analysis was carried out for 5 regions: Europe and Central Asia, Asia Pacific, Latin America & Caribbean, Africa and North America. Taking species population as a measure, a significant loss in biodiversity was found in all regions, with encroachment on natural land identified as the most prominent threat to wildlife.

As this chart shows, several of the leading threats to biodiversity areas are human-made. For example, the group Human Intrusions and Disturbance encompasses a range of actions from recreational ...

This chart shows the decline in monitored vertebrate species populations between 1970 and 2020. ... the worst impact on biodiversity has been in Latin America and the Caribbean, where wildlife ...

The latest Living Planet Report paints a stark picture of our planet’s health, revealing that wildlife populations have plummeted by 73% since 1970. This alarming statistic is now visually represented by two darker grey stripes added to the biodiversity stripes, a tool designed to raise awareness and engagement about biodiversity loss. While climate change often…

To further improve the IUCN Red List's ability to provide up-to-date information on the world's biodiversity, the official goal is to assess 260,000 species by 2030 and to reassess 142,000 of ...

6 Biodiversity Loss Statistics. 1. Biodiversity is declining faster than at any time in human history. The average abundance of native species in most major land-based habitats has fallen by at least 20% since 1900. 2.

The map: Locating biomes (or regional ecosystems) throughout the world. The graph: The bars compare the impacted states of selected biomes (or regional ecosystems) at various historical dates and projected 2050. These impacts are expressed using the Mean species abundance (MSA) indicator.

Latin America & Caribbean has seen the biggest drop in biodiversity at 94%. This region’s drastic decline has been mainly driven by declining reptile, amphibian, and fish populations. Despite varying rates of loss between regions, it’s clear that overall, biodiversity is on the decline.

WWF’s 2020 Living Planet Report held some alarming news: The world has seen an average 68% drop in mammal, bird, fish, reptile, and amphibian populations since 1970. Much of the loss is caused by habitat destruction due to unsustainable agriculture or logging. And climate change, which hasn’t been the biggest driver of biodiversity loss so far, is expected to take that role in the decades ...

This is part of a series on the effects of climate change. How is climate change driving biodiversity loss? Warmer temperatures are forcing certain species to move to different latitudes, while ...

terrestrial biodiversity loss from land-use change. Different ‘what-if’ scenarios were developed: a reference scenario which assumes a business-as-usual future, with alternatives designed to explore the potential consequences of various actions which could be taken to stem the tide of biodiversity loss. These interventions included:

In 2002, world leaders committed, through the Convention on Biological Diversity, to achieve a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. We compiled 31 indicators to report on progress toward this target. Most indicators of the state of biodiversity (covering species’ population trends, extinction risk, habitat extent and condition, and community composition) showed ...

Climate change is the largest threat to ESA-listed species, surpassing other drivers like land use change, pollution and others. In a study published in BioScience, researchers set out to determine what threat was most pervasive for U.S. species.They examined hazards listed in the Endangered Species Act, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and other climate sensitivity ...

Across the world, in every ecosystem, and across all species, drastic biodiversity loss is occurring and it is unequivocally due to human activity. Image credit: F-Focus by Mati Kose/Shutterstock ...
