摘要

The year 2020 will be remembered for a succession of disasters: for-est fires, locust invasions, and the deadliest of all, the COVID-19 pan-demic, which have disrupted economic and social activities worldwide. And the natural decline in biodiversity continues to get worse around the world. In its lat-est Living Planet Report 2020 released on September 10, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) states that global vertebrate spe-cies populations declined by an average of 68 percent between 1970 and 2016.
