Reply to comment by TheDevilOnFire in Animal populations have shrunk an average of 69% over the last half-century and are continuing to decline, a report says, and we've got limited time to try to fix it. by mossadnik

The principal cause of the decline is the loss of habitats. Yes we must look at other issues but must first put efforts on the conservation of ecosystems.

And the biggest driver of habitat loss is CO2 emissions. No even counting what it’s doing directly to the ocean, warming is making a lot of habitat that looks ok untenable for many species. Humans don’t realize this because even without clothing and air conditioning we are comfortable in a wide range of temperature.
