Biodiversity falls below 'safe levels': Study
In what was the most comprehensive examination yet of biodiversity loss, researchers have revealed that the variety of animals and plants has fallen below the 'safe levels' across 58.1% of the world's landmass. A site losing over 10% of its biodiversity is considered to have passed a precautionary threshold. For this, researchers analysed 2.38 million records of 39,123 species globally.
