From Global Wildlife Populations Down By Half Since 1970:
The world populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles fell overall by 52 per cent between 1970 and 2010, far faster than previously thought, the World Wildlife Fund said on Tuesday. - See more at: http://news.asiaone.com/news/science-and-tech/global-wildlife-populations-down-half-1970#sthash.gXEutOOU.dpufThe world populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles fell overall by 52 per cent between 1970 and 2010, far faster than previously thought, the World Wildlife Fund said on Tuesday.

I spoke with a man who lives deep in California's drought about how bad it's gotten there and how he was cutting back on watering his garden to help.The main reasons for declining populations were the loss of natural habitats, exploitation through hunting or fishing, and climate change. - See more at: http://news.asiaone.com/news/science-and-tech/global-wildlife-populations-down-half-1970#sthash.gXEutOOU.dpufThe main reasons for declining populations were the loss of natural habitats, exploitation through hunting or fishing, and climate change.The main reasons for declining populations were the loss of natural habitats, exploitation through hunting or fishing, and climate change.
Later in the conversation, he said he was considering selling some unused, undeveloped land he had. He didn't need the money, but was tired of paying property taxes on it and hoped he could sell it to someone who'd build another gas station or something. I brought up the contradiction that land development (the paving of the land with asphalt, construction, plus all the mining, manufacturing, transportation and other work that goes into enabling the development) would contribute far more to the drought than any reduction in watering his garden.
He gave a nervous chuckle and didn't seem to know what to think. Pretty soon he mentioned the local sports team and we resumed a more normal conversation.
