Life on Earth is on the brink of catastrophe as climate change and destruction of nature undermine our planet, conservationists warn.
Wildlife populations have fallen nearly 70% globally since 1970, the World Wildlife Fund’s latest Living Planet Report reveals – equivalent to a wipe-out of everyone in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Oceania and China.
In the UK the decline is a worrying 50% but in the Amazon, the most biodiverse place on Earth, it is worst of all at a disastrous 94%.
