Statement 1 is correct.The Living Planet Report 2022 found drastic decline in the global wildlife population.
According to the flagship publication, there has been a 69 per cent decline in the global wildlife population between the years 1970 and 2018.
This does not mean that 69 per cent of individual animals across the world has declined
The report gives average of changes in population sizes of different species of animals and not of the number of creatures lost.
It measures the relative size of the decline in each animal population and averages it.
The report analyzed almost 32,000 populations of 5,230 species.
According to the report, the Latin America and the Caribbean region, which hosts the Amazon Rainforest, witnessed the highest wildlife decline of 94 per cent between 1970 and 2018.
Africa recorded the second highest decline of 66 per cent during the same period, followed by the Pacific (55 per cent).
North America and Europe recorded lesser nature decline, falling by 20 per cent and 18 per cent respectively.
The full form of WWF is World Wide Fund for Nature. It is an international non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and conservation of nature.
