Briefings

A study published in 2026 reports that while global wildlife populations have declined by 73% since 1970, four species have recovered, demonstrating the effectiveness of conservation science. The evidence highlights a contrast between overall decline and specific species recovery, suggesting that targeted conservation efforts can reverse trends for certain groups.

Key points

• Four specific species have recovered from population declines since 1970, proving conservation science works.
• Global wildlife populations have decreased by 73% since 1970, contrasting with the recovery of these four species.

Context

This finding challenges the assumption that conservation efforts have failed globally, showing that targeted interventions can restore populations for specific species despite broader declines.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to four species; global decline data is from 1970 to present; no specific recovery dates or locations are provided.
