Living Planet Report: WWF finds 73% global wildlife decline; India shows recovery gains
A global decline of 73% in monitored wildlife populations occurred between 1970 and 2022. India has successfully improved populations of tigers, one-horned rhinos, and Ganga river dolphins. The report highlights threats like habitat loss, climate change, and pollution affecting wildlife. Despite the negative trends, about half of monitored populations are stable or increasing globally. Targeted conservation efforts in India demonstrate the potential for wildlife recovery and biodiversity preservation.
