Publication of the 'Living Planet Report' by the WWF

Last Thursday, the WWF published its Living Planet Report, a comprehensive study measuring measures the state of biodiversity in the world. The report is alarming: between 1970 and 2018, in 48 years, vertebrate populations - fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles - have fallen by an average of 69% worldwide. A figure that only increases from report to report.

Five major causes are identified at the origin of this decline:

• Land use change
• Overexploitation of resources
• Pollution
• Invasive species and the one that becomes more threatening year after year
• And global warming

According to this report, if we do not manage to respect the Paris Agreements (i.e. limiting global warming to 1.5° C by 2050), "climate change will surely become the main cause of biodiversity loss in the coming decades"
