MWT comments on international report
A global decline in animal numbers hasn't hit the Isle of Man significantly, but it should serve as a wake-up call.
That's the message from the Manx Wildlife Trust, after figures from the London Zoological Society found world populations have dwindled by 58% since 1970.
The report mainly blamed human activity such as climate change, mass production and deforestation for the 'mass extinction'.
Andre Dubbeldam from the MWT says Manx wildlife has escaped the majority of the damage:
