uses data on 16,704 populations of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, representing

pollution, pollination and floods,” he said. “The Living Planet report clearly demonstrates that
human activities are destroying nature at an unacceptable rate, 10 threatens the well being of
current and future generations.”
