Where is the planet losing most of its wildlife?
from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy
Over the last 60 years, Earth has experienced an average 69% decline in the relative abundance of monitored wildlife populations. This is one of the key findings in the World Wildlife Fund's Living Planet Report 2022. But despite calling the trend "pretty grim," WWF Chief Global Scientist Rebecca Shaw doesn't believe all the data is doom and gloom. With a key global climate summit set for Montreal in a few weeks, she thinks now is the time for countries to make sure they're doing everything they can to ensure future wildlife survival.
