Briefings

A 2026 report by leading conservation nonprofits reveals that vertebrate species populations declined by 73% globally between 1970 and 2022. While this represents a severe global trend, the evidence also identifies specific regions and species where populations are recovering or increasing, suggesting resilience in certain ecosystems despite widespread decline.

Key points

• Global vertebrate species populations declined by 73% on average from 1970 to 2022 according to a 2026 report by leading conservation nonprofits.
• Some vertebrate populations are recovering or increasing, indicating resilience in specific ecosystems despite the overall decline.

Context and limitations

The report covers vertebrate species globally but does not specify which regions or species are recovering, limiting the ability to identify specific success stories.
