According to a new report, there has been an average decline of 68 percent in the population of animals, birds and fish globally in less than 50 years. The Living Planet Index report for this year has warned that an increase in deforestation and agriculture were the main factors in this significant decline observed between 1970 and 2016. Scientists have also blamed human activities for the loss of wildlife.
