The World Wildlife Fund has declared that 2/3rds of the worlds wildlife has been lost since 1970, which they state is due to environmental destruction - deforestation, unsustainable agriculture and the illegal wildlife trade.

There statement reads - These serious declines in wildlife species populations are an indicator that nature is unravelling and that our planet is flashing red warning signs of systems failure - Marco Lambertini.

This is indeed a dire warning, and such a loss is catastrophic when you consider we are all dependant on one another and our lives are intertwined. How much more needs to be lost for us to start realising our role in this apocalypse?
