KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 (Bernama) — Human activity is pushing the planet’s natural systems that support life on earth to the edge, according to WWF’s Living Planet Report 2018. The report presents a sobering picture of the impact of human activity on the world’s wildlife, forests, oceans, rivers and climate. It calls for an urgent need for the global community to collectively rethink and redefine how we value, protect and restore nature.
“We are withdrawing from our natural resources’ ‘savings account’ insatiably, leaving less for the next generation to live with. The disappearing fish in the sea, the changing climate, our empty forests are all the symptoms,” says Dr Henry Chan, Conservation Director of WWF-Malaysia.
