Deforestation Facts: Over 43 million hectares were lost in these deforestation fronts between 2004 and 2017, an area roughly the size of Morocco. The Amazon, the planet’s largest rain forest, lost approximately 17% of its forest cover in the last half century due to human activity.

The high demand for crops like soy, palm oil, cocoa and coffee in turn drives deforestation to clear land where they can be grown.
In fact, almost 80% of the world’s soybean crop is fed to livestock, especially for beef, chicken, egg and dairy production (milk, cheeses, butter, yogurt, etc).

In 2020, the average European consumed 237 eggs, 117 kg of various dairy products, 58 kg of pork, poultry, beef and other meat, and 2 kg of farmed fish. In some cases, such as for chicken and salmon, the amount of soy animal feed is almost equal to that of the food produced. 95 grams of soy are needed to produce 100 grams of farmed salmon, and 96 grams of soy for 100 grams of chicken breast.

Wildlife populations - mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish - have seen a devastating 69% drop on average since 1970, according to WWF’s Living Planet Report (LPR) 2022

Latin America shows the greatest regional decline in average population abundance (94%).

The average abundance of 6,617 freshwater populations across the globe, representing 1,398 species, declined by 83%.

The global abundance of oceanic sharks and rays has declined by 71% over the last 50 years, due primarily to an 18-fold increase in shing pressure since 1970.

By 2020, three-quarters (77%, 24 species) were threatened with an elevated risk of extinction. For example, the oceanic Whitetip Shark has declined by 95% globally over three generation lengths, and has consequently moved from Vulnerable to Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.

Unless we limit warming to 1.5°C, climate change is likely to become the dominant cause of biodiversity loss in the coming decades
