However, for species that are endemic in specific regions and only exist in this geographically constrained area, then not only does the extinction have an impact locally, but there are also global consequences.
Oct 10, 2024 · GLAND, Switzerland (10 October 2024) -There has been a catastrophic 73% decline in the average size of monitored wildlife populations* in just 50 years (1970-2020), according to WWF’s Living Planet Report (LPR) 2024.
Oct 9, 2024 · WWF’s flagship Living Planet Report details sharp declines in monitored wildlife populations with the steepest drops recorded in Latin America and the Caribbean (95%), Africa (76%) and Asia–Pacific (60%), followed by North America (39%) and Europe and Central Asia (35%).
- On average, there has been a large decline across tens of thousands of wildlife populations since 1970. One of the most widely-quoted, but misunderstood, metrics on biodiversity is the Living Planet Index.
- Not all animal populations are in decline; around half have increasing numbers. The Living Planet Index reports that there has been a large average decline across more than 30,000 animal populations.
- Wild mammals have declined by 85% since the rise of humans. A diverse range of mammals once roamed the planet. This changed quickly and dramatically with the rising number of humans over the course of the last 100,000 years.
- Wild mammals make up only a few percent of the world’s mammals. In the chart, we see the distribution of mammals on Earth.8 These estimates compare mammals on the basis of biomass.
Jan 19, 2020 · Analysis of 163 industry sectors and their supply chains found that over half of the world’s GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature and its services. Pollination, water quality and disease control are three examples of the services an ecosystem can provide.

Perhaps the greatest threat to biodiversity from a growing population is from the rapidly increasing per capita consumption. There has been an unprecedented increase in consumption, with about 10% of the world's population in the G7 countries consuming 40% of the Earth's biological productivity.
