According to the World Wildlife Foundation 2/3 of the worlds wildlife will be gone by 2020.

Since the year 1970 the worlds wildlife populations have gone down 60% due to the increase of human activity. WWF says "We are entering a new era in Earth's history: the Anthropocene."

The study included more than 14,000 monitored populations of the 3,700 vertebrate species found in usable data available.

Although populations have plummeted, nature is known to be resilient and bounce back when it is given the opportunity. Not all hope is lost for the deaths animal populations. Canada is looking into creating more protected ares of land to help populations grow and become healthy again. This will hopefully bring back needed animals that have left certain areas that are trigger species.

Some plants plants depend on animals for nutrients, pollination and seed dispersal. As humans we need plants to produce clean air for is to breath. If the animal population goes down so drastically it causes me to ask a question - will plant life begin to decrease at major levels?
