The 2014 Living Plant Report is out and the results are we’ve lost 39 percent of our terrestrial species in the past 40 years. Freshwater species: 76 percent. Marine species: 39 percent.
Why? Hunting/fishing and habitat degradation/loss from human overpopulation were the two primary causes and then climate change, pollution. They have a graph showing the decline and I noticed that there is a bounce-back of animal life whenever we are in a recession.
