"The 2024
Living Planet Index report is published today and makes for some
grim reading. The headline is a 73% average decline in wildlife populations
since 1970.
While these trends are extremely worrying, the numbers presented in the
Living
Planet Index (LPI) report are often misunderstood or misreported. In this
article, we give a short overview of what these numbers mean — and don’t mean —
and what some of the data underneath the headline figure shows.
We’ve written about the LPI several times before, including more technical
texts that explain how it should be interpreted, so we’ll link to those when we
can if you want to dig deeper."
