The Guardian has published an article in regards to the large loss of\u00a0wildlife in the past\u00a040 years. Due to humans’\u00a0rapid consumption practices and\u00a0our\u00a0ecological footprint, the Earth cannot replenish what we use fast enough. The WWF analyzed 10,000 different populations consisting of animals, fish and birds in the study to\u00a0create a\u00a0representative\u00a0“Living Planet Index” (LPI).\u00a0The study showed that freshwater ecosystems had the fastest declining population. While the biggest decline in animal numbers are in low income, developing nations, rich nations are “outsourcing” wildlife decline in\u00a0developing countries by importing food and other goods produced through habitat destruction. What can you do to make a difference to help keep\u00a0the Earth clean?<\/p>\n
