Living Planet Report of WWF

According to World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Living Planet Report 2020 Wildlife populations have fallen by more than two-thirds in less than 50 years

According to the report the losses have been driven primarily by habitat loss, it says, along with pollution, invasive species, overhunting and overfishing and, increasingly, climate change.

Result of this loss:

• The result is dysfunctional ecosystems. It means ecosystem bereft of important pollinators, predators and scavengers which is  less able to support human or animal health
• According to report, the decrease of wildlife and increasing human interference is leading to rise in Zoonosis.
