WWF report reveals a 60% decline in wildlife populations since 1970

Humanity's need for food and energy were noted as the most damaging factors… The demand we place on the planet's natural resources to fuel our lifestyles continues to take a huge toll on biodiversity around the world. So much so, the WWF now says we've seen an average 60 percent decline in mammal, bird, fish, reptile and amphibian populations between 1970 and 2014, the year that data was last available.
