SILENT EXTINCTION
The forest still looks green from far away…but inside, life is disappearing.According to the WWF Living Planet Report 2024, average monitored wildlife populations have declined by 73% since 1970.That means fewer birds in the sky.Fewer fish in rivers.Fewer insects, frogs, mammals, and wild voices around us.This is not just an animal crisis.This is a warning for humanity.When wildlife disappears, ecosystems collapse.When ecosystems collapse, food, water, climate, and human survival are affected too.
