Zeit Online·about 13 hours ago
WWF reports a 70% increase in wild tiger populations from 2010 to 2025, citing it as a sign of hope amid ongoing global biodiversity decline. Vertebrate population indicators remain at 73% decline (1970-2022), unchanged from 2024, suggesting stabilization but no recovery. The report highlights targeted conservation successes against a backdrop of systemic ecological loss.
