Detailed explanation-1: -The Living Planet Index (LPI) data tells us how species are faring, by measuring trends in monitored populations of vertebrate species. It is not a census of all wildlife, but reports the average percentage change in size of these populations monitored throughout the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Living Planet Index (LPI)-which tracks populations of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians-reveals an average 69% decrease in monitored wildlife populations since 1970. The 2022 LPI analysed almost 32, 000 species populations.
Detailed explanation-3: -The 2022 global Living Planet Index shows an average 69% decrease in monitored wildlife populations between 1970 and 2018. Latin America shows the greatest regional decline in average population abundance (94%). Population trends for monitored freshwater species are also falling steeply (83%).
Detailed explanation-4: -The Living Planet Report is published every two years by the World Wide Fund for Nature since 1998. It is based on the Living Planet Index and ecological footprint calculations.
