About the Living Planet Report

The Living Planet Report, WWF’s flagship publication released every two years, is a comprehensive study of trends in global biodiversity and the health of the planet.

The Living Planet Report 2022 is the 14th edition of the report and provides the scientific evidence to back what nature has been demonstrating repeatedly: unsustainable human activity is pushing the planet’s natural systems that support life on Earth to the edge.

Through multiple indicators including the Living Planet Index (LPI), provided by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), it shows an average 69% fall in almost 32,000 wildlife populations between 1970 and 2018.

The report calls on world leaders to come together to build a more sustainable, resilient and healthy post COVID-19 world for people and nature.
