New jaw-dropping peer-reviewed science paper: farmed poultry makes up 70% of all birds on Earth, with just 30% being wild. Even worse: 60% of all mammals are livestock, like cattle and pigs, 36% are human and just 4% are wild animals. Humans have decimated life everywhere on Earth, including remote regions like the poles and deep oceans. Lots of the extra carbon in the atmosphere/oceans used to be safely stored in plants/animals. Restoring a healthy biosphere would do wonders for restoring a healthy climate.
