        It was primarily due to habitat destruction. What can be done about that?

        Urbanization, less intrusive agriculture

        Sure, but what is the mechanism whereby those things happen? Land use control is "big government" and an intrusion on our sacred property rights. We would need some sort of carrot approach involving tax subsidies for Republicans to permit such a policy.

        The key to survival in the Human age is to have at least two of the following traits: Cute, tasty, docile, with tasty being BY FAR the most important. When we go to the stars, you know we are bringing pigs, chickens, and cows, and not for how they help out the ecosystem.

        By that math, we’re less than 4 generations away from being the ecological equivalent of the giant asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. #ambition

        Good thread about how that isn't what the report said:https://twitter.com/TomChivers/status/1057266837002641409 …

        Tom ChiversVerified account @TomChivers
        OK, so, I've mangled this repeatedly. So I've been asked to explain. Essentially: the report does NOT show that the number of animals in the world have declined by 60% since 1970. That might have happened, and there really has been a mass extinction, but it's not what it says. https://twitter.com/TomChivers/status/1057209498945945600 …

        To console ourselves a bit: half of the world’s wildlife would’ve gladly done the same to us provided an opportunity.
