Explore the trends and changes in the global and regional wildlife population. Using the Living Planet Index, a metric that measures the state of global biological diversity based on population trends of species from different continents around the world.
Through the findings, we discover the driving causes behind the change in wildlife populations over the years. Heightening our awareness of these issues can help support the conservation efforts put in place to protect our wildlife populations and save the planet.
Data
There are two datasets in total- one from the Living Planet Index which explores the changes in wildlife population density in different regions of the world throughout the years, while the other dataset Threats To Wildlife, acts as a supporting data to reveal the different reasons behind the changes in wildlife populations.
Artefact
The artefact is an interative visualisation achieved through generative code. The artefact encapsulates the findings derived from the datasets. Through the interactions with the artefact, users are able to percieve the effects of wildlife population loss on the planet. The artefact also visualises a glimpse of an idealised version of Earth, bringing hope to this dire situation.
