Using the largest dataset to date, the report presents the clearest and starkest picture of wildlife decline in Canada yet. More than half of the species studied are decreasing in abundance. https://t.co/wA4wfVW7a1

But it’s not all doom and gloom! 🌈 🐟31% of species in the #LivingPlanetIndex for #MigratoryFreshwaterFishare increasing on average 📈 🐟And populations not affected by threats locally are increasing 📈 #WorldFishMigrationDay #FishMigration

⚠️The biggest drivers of population decline in #LivingPlanetIndex for #MigratoryFreshwaterFish were habitat degradation, alteration and loss, and overexploitation. #WorldFishMigrationDay #FishMigration

Asia-Oceania shows a 28% average decline in #MigratoryFreshwaterFish but this is likely an underestimate. We only have data from 14% of known species from the region & data is patchy from biodiverse river basins e.g. Mekong & Yangtze. #WorldFishMigrationDay #LivingPlanetIndex

North America shows one of the smallest declines in #MigratoryFreshwaterFish with a decrease of 35% on average. Could management of fisheries be behind this? #WorldFishMigrationDay #FishMigration #MigratoryFreshwaterFish #LivingPlanetIndex

The #LivingPlanetIndex shows a staggering 91% average decline in #MigratoryFreshwaterFish populations in Latin America & the Caribbean. This is largely due to the building of new dams and habitat destruction. ☹ #WorldFishMigrationDay #FishMigration

⚠️Europe is particularly affected by #fragmentation of rivers & resulting changes in water flow. There are over 1.2 million barriers across the continent! But mechanisms are being developed to restore connectivity. #EuropeanBiodiversityStrategy #NatureRestorationLaw

⚠️ The latest #LivingPlanetIndex2024 reveals a 81% average decline in global migratory freshwater fish populations between 1970 and 2020. That’s equivalent to a 3.3% decline per year! #WorldFishMigrationDay #FishMigration #MigratoryFreshwaterFish #LivingPlanetIndex

We used info from the #LivingPlanetDatabase on >1,800 populations of 284 species of #MigratoryFreshwaterFish. That’s around 23% of all migratory freshwater fish species globally! #WorldFishMigrationDay #FishMigration #LivingPlanetIndex https://t.co/vY3gLS9mWB

🐟 Migratory freshwater fish are crucial to maintaining river health and supporting countless communities around the world. 🌍 But these species are facing extinction due to habitat degradation and overexploitation. ➡️ Read the latest #LivingPlanetIndex2024
