The Earth\u2019s wildlife populations have shrunk by a \u201ccatastrophic\u201d 73 per cent in just 50 years, according to a leading scientific assessment. Using data from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), WWF\u2019s biennial Living Planet Report charts the unravelling in the average size of monitored species between 1970 to 2020.<\/p>\n<p>With the next five years \u201ccrucial for life on Earth\u201d, it calls on the EU to do more to protect vital habitats and biodiversity. \u201cThe findings of this report are alarming, and EU consumption continues to be a major driver of global biodiversity loss, particularly in critical ecosystems like the Amazon, which is nearing an irreversible tipping point,\u201d says Anke Schulmeister-Oldenhove, forests manager from the WWF European Policy Office.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the European Commission postponed its deforestation law by a year, delaying a measure that was meant to wean out land clearances from the bloc\u2019s supply chains. \u201cHow much more forest must we lose before policymakers grasp the urgency of immediate action?\u201d Schulmeister-Oldenhove asks.<\/p>\n<p>ZSL\u2019s Living Planet Index includes almost 35,000 population trends of 5,495 species. It reveals an average 73 per cent decline in vertebrate wildlife populations &#8211; mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish &#8211; between 1970 to 2020. Freshwater populations have suffered the most serious declines, falling by 85 per cent in 50 years. WWF traces this loss to dams and other habitat incursions that can block the migration routes of freshwater fish, for example.<\/p>\n<p>WWF\u2019s 2022 report calculated that population sizes had declined by 69 per cent on average over the same time period. But the two studies are not directly comparable as they contain different sets of species, the NGO explains. In terms of regions, the steepest declines have occurred in Latin America &#8211; a staggering 95 per cent drop &#8211; and Africa, with a 76 per cent decrease in wildlife populations. By comparison, Europe \u2018only\u2019 registered a 35 per cent decline.<\/p>\n<p>But the 1970 baseline is important to bear in mind, since humans\u2019 destructive impact on nature was already apparent in Europe prior to the seventies. Hence there is less of a negative trend. The 15th edition of the Living Planet Report draws particular attention to deforestation in the Amazon, where fire outbreaks reached their highest level in 14 years this August. The dieback of the Amazon rainforest and the mass die-off of coral reefs are tipping points that would create far-reaching shockwaves impacting food security and livelihoods, it warns.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/10\/11\/alarming-wwf-reports-sends-a-stark-warning-to-eu-to-use-green-deal-to-restore-biodiversity\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/10\/11\/alarming-wwf-reports-sends-a-stark-warning-to-eu-to-use-green-deal-to-restore-biodiversity\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/alarming-wwf-reports-sends-a-stark-warning-to-eu-to-use-green-deal-to-restore-biodiversity\/\">\u2018Alarming\u2019: WWF reports \u2018sends a stark warning\u2019 to EU to use Green Deal to restore biodiversity<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,274,16478,16479,1219],"class_list":["post-134608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu","tag-restore-biodiversity","tag-use-green-deal","tag-wwf"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134608\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
