The global Living Planet Index continues to decline. It shows an average 68% decrease in population sizes of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish between 1970 and 2016. A 94% decline in the LPI for the tropical sub-regions of the Americans is the largest fall observed in any part of the world. It matters because biodiversity is fundamental to human life on Earth, and the evidence is unequivocal - it is being destroyed by us at a rate unprecedented in history.
