"Exploding human consumption" has caused a massive drop in the global wildlife population in recent decades, the WWF conservation group says.
In a report, the charity says 60% of all vertebrates - mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles - were wiped out between 1970 and 2014.
"Earth is losing biodiversity at a rate seen only during mass extinctions," the WWF's Living Planet Report adds.

We've also lost 20% of the Amazon Rainforest in that time.
