Decreasing Wildlife Populations
The Living Planet Report by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is responsible for the Living Planet Index. This project gathers data on the Earth's biodiversity. In 2020, the Living Planet Index reported a 68 % decline in wildlife populations since 1970. This one number is a reflection of 20,000 individual stories on how each animal species is surviving. Having one value is a great way to get an overall understanding; knowing the status of each population is extremely important. This knowledge allows us to prioritize conservation efforts on threatened specials and groups. Looking below the Index value, one can see if different groups have more Stable, Increasing, or Decreasing Populations.
What Does 1GB of Mobile Data Cost By Country?
Connecting to the internet via Mobile Data is critical today. The higher the cost, the more significant the barrier it is for people to improve themselves and enhance their lives. India has the lowest price per 1 GB due to high competitiveness among multiple carriers. The higher cost tends to be driven either by limited competition or limited infrastructure. Data from the Visual Capitalist provided the cost per 1 GB for 155 different countries is the Makeover Monday 2021 Week 19 challenge (What Does 1 GB of Mobile Data Cost in Every Country?)— combining that data with information on World Bank Region and Income Group Classification.
