'Exploding human consumption' has caused huge loss of wildlife
A new report from the World Wildlife Fund -- the WWF -- has blamed humans for causing a 60% percent drop, on average, in the global wildlife population. The conservation group's report says losses in vertebrates species - mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles - averaged 60% between 1970 and 2014. Tanya Steele is UK Chief Executive of WWF.
