Animal populations in some parts of the world have collapsed by up to 94% in less than half a century, according to yet another devastating report underlining the scale of the climate crisis.
The potential loss of the Amazon Rainforest in as little as ten years is causing particular concern – with the head of WWF UK telling Metro.co.uk that there will be ‘no safe place on Earth’ if the forest hits a tipping point that means it no longer functions as a rainforest. ‘We are not going to get another chance. It is for our current leaders, current governments, current CEOs to act and act now.’
WWF chief executive Tanya Steele told Metro.co.uk: ‘If we lose the Amazon Rainforest there is no safe place on Earth from climate change.’ Mike suggested that there would be delays in implementing the climate action needed – meaning ‘we have a now or never moment’.He told Metro.co.uk there should be ‘nothing’ on supermarket shelves that profits from deforestation.
