How do we measure biodiversity change on a global scale?
In the latest #InsideBiodiversity episode, Volker Hahn speaks with Louise McRae (@OfficialZSL) about the Living Planet Index, the science behind it, and what decades of wildlife monitoring reveal about trends in vertebrate populations worldwide.
๐ฌ๐๐๏ธ The 2026 index draws on more data than ever before, expanding both its taxonomic and geographic coverage.
