WWF’s Living Blue Planet Report has highlighted enormous losses in the world’s oceans – but this was not just about “losing some fish and turtles”, according to John Tanzer, director of WWF International marine programme.
“It is about the unravelling of the fabric of an ecosystem that sustains life on Earth.”
Tanzer said while Nasa’s photos taken from space in 2015 showed the same blue planet that Nasa had captured in 1972, “we know the planet has changed substantially and perhaps irrevocably in the intervening four decades”.
