The Living Planet Report, WWF’s flagship publication released every two years, is a comprehensive study of trends in global biodiversity and the health of the planet. The Living Planet Report 2018 provides the scientific evidence to what nature has been telling us repeatedly: unsustainable human activity is pushing the planet’s natural systems that support life on Earth to the edge. We find out more from Dr Henry Chan, the Conservation Director of WWF-Malaysia, who will also shed more light on how Malaysia's biodiversity is doing, in particular.
