Catastrophic 73% decline in wildlife populations in just 50 years

Anyone reading this article can see that the Earth is coming to an end, and this is not even taking into account the Bible scriptures that have been fulfilled.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 6:2 For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

According to a new scientific assessment, global wildlife populations have plummeted by an average of 73% in the last 50 years, leaving only 23% of wildlife remaining. This alarming trend results from human activities pushing ecosystems to the brink of collapse.

Latin America and the Caribbean saw the most significant average declines in recorded wildlife populations, with a 95% decrease, leaving only 5% remaining, according to the WWF and the Zoological Society of London’s (ZSL) biennial Living Planet report.

They were followed by Africa with 76%, 24% left, and Asia and the Pacific with 60%, only 40% left. Europe and North America recorded comparatively lower falls of 35% and 65%, respectively, since 1970.

Scientists explained that before 1970, wildlife populations in Europe and North America experienced much larger declines, which are now being replicated in other parts of the world.

“They emphasized that the loss could rapidly accelerate in the coming years as global heating intensifies, triggered by tipping points in the Amazon rainforest, Arctic, and marine ecosystems. This could have catastrophic consequences for nature and human society,” stressed ZSL’s chief executive. The report’s message is unequivocal: “We are perilously close to tipping points for nature loss and climate change.”

The figures, known as the Living Planet Index, consist of almost 35,000 population trends from 5,495 bird, fish, amphibian, and reptile species worldwide. This index has become a leading indicator of the global state of wildlife populations.

The index favors data from Africa and Latin America, driving a dramatic global collapse. The IUCN’s Red List found that almost a third of more than 160,000 plant and animal species are at risk of extinction.

41% of amphibians, 26% of mammals, and 34% of conifer trees are at risk of disappearing. This information was published before the Cop16 biodiversity summit in Cali, Colombia, where countries will meet to discuss international targets to halt the decline of life on Earth.

Governments have never met a biodiversity target in UN history. Scientists urge world leaders to make this decade different. The COP16 president and Colombia’s environment minister said, “We must listen to science and take action to avoid collapse.”

Globally, we are reaching points of no return, irreversibly affecting the planet’s life-support systems through deforestation, intensive land use, and climate change. The world is witnessing the mass bleaching of coral reefs, the loss of tropical forests, the collapse of polar ice caps, and serious changes to the water cycle, which is the foundation of life on our planet.

Land-use change is the most important driver of the fall in wildlife populations as agricultural frontiers expand, often at the expense of ecosystems such as tropical rainforests.

The director of science and conservation at WWF-UK mentioned that countries like the UK are driving the destruction of natural habitats by importing food and livestock feed grown on previously wild ecosystems. The data shows that this loss was driven by the fragmentation of natural habitats.

The data we’re observing indicates a deeper shift happening in our natural ecosystems. They are becoming less able to handle sudden changes and shocks. Adding climate change on top of these already weakened habitats is making things worse. “I’ve been writing these reports for 10 years, and this one was tough to write. It was shocking,” he said.

In Hosea, the Bible gives a prophecy to Israel, which I’m sure applies today to the end of the world.

Hosea 4:1 The LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Hosea 4:2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

Hosea 4:3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and everyone that dwelleth therein shall languish=lose or lack vitality; grow weak or feeble, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and diseases; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
