The world is a cacophony of life — a symphony of species, each with its unique note, its own rhythm. But lately, the orchestra has been faltering.

Latin America has experienced the greatest regional decline in average population abundance at 94%, while freshwater species globally have seen the greatest overall decline at 83%.
