Human activity has decimated populations of the global wildlife, says a new WWF report

Human activity has decimated the species of wildlife in the world counts on average 60% over the past four decades by a new World Wildlife Fund to reduce alarming report. Species are disappearing due to habitat loss and degradation, over-exploitation of wildlife, pollution and climate change, the Living Planet Report 2018 said the monitoring of populations of more than 4,000 mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, researchers from the WWF found declines between 1970 and graduated in 2014 as the human species directly connected These reductions activity prices are considered to be extinct are now 100 to 1000 times higher than before the human pressure was a factor. “This report sounds a warning shot across our bow. Natural systems for our survival – forests, oceans and rivers – are in decline. Continue the wildlife around the world to wane,” Carter Roberts, President and CEO WWF-US, said in a statement. Before the explosive boom in population in the 20th century, the consumption of humanity is less than the speed of the earth renewal. But the report notes that ecosystems are now sold out quickly, with forests, coral reefs, wetlands and mangroves all shrink. Over the past 30 years, the Earth is estimated that about half of his little deep water corals have lost, while the lungs of the planet of the Amazon has disappeared in the last 50 years, 20% of. This human-induced changes are so severe that scientists believe that we can have a mass extinction event can induce. “The earth is losing biodiversity at a rate seen only in mass deaths,” the report said. Also, drastic changes are to be expected as “people for the release of 100 billion tonnes of carbon in the Earth system every 10 years are responsible,” he adds. Echoed called a UN report benchmark published earlier this month, WWF urgent action. The UN has warned climate change is “an urgent threat and potentially fatal to human societies and the planet” that “require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all sectors of society.” The WWF also pointed out that “you do not lose all hope.” WWF has highlighted the need for a “global deal for nature” related to the climate agreement in Paris, ambitions and tug set back from the brink of ‘extinction. “We are the first generation that has a clear picture of the value of nature and the serious situation we face,” the report said. “We may be the last generation that can do something about it.”
