05/16/2008: "Wildlife numbers plummet globally: WWF"

The world's wildlife populations have reduced by around a quarter since the 1970s, according to a major report published Friday by the WWF conservation organization.

Marine species have been particularly hard hit as the human population booms, while numbers of birds and, fish and animals have also gone down, said the WWF in a report.

[ Half of all species exist in the rainforests and it looks like they will all be cleared. It's doubful humans will survive after that. ]
