Wildlife populations around the world have shown a staggering 73% decline over the past 50 years, highlighting a significant threat to biodiversity.
The Living Planet Index reveals declines in wildlife populations, but its variability means it should not be solely relied upon to measure overall biodiversity loss.
Despite some limitations, the data provided by the Living Planet Index is still valuable for identifying vulnerable populations that require urgent attention.
Experts emphasize that while the index remains one of the best estimates available for trends, it requires more comprehensive data for greater accuracy.
