The Living Planet Index and Ecological Footprint.
The Living Planet Index (LPI) is a measure of the state of the world's biological diversity based on population trends of vertebrate species from terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats. The LPI has been adopted by the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) as an indicator of progress towards its 2011-2020 target to 'take effective and urgent action to halt the loss of biodiversity'.
The report measures the health of 9,014 populations of more than 2,600 species - a thousand more populations than have been monitored by previous editions. This data, collated by ZSL, creates the Living Planet Index (LPI), is presented in the report alongside global ecological and water footprint data.
The LPI database is available online to all logged in visitors. The map above gives a snapshot of the number of populations we have in the database from around the world.
My ecological footprint percentage is 70.82%. We would need 4.51 earths if everyone had the lifestyle that I lead. The results made me feel concerned because my footprint is below average by almost 20 percent, which seems like a lot to me.
The Living Planet Report relates the Living Planet Index--a measure of the health of the world's biodiversity--to the Ecological Footprint and the Water Footprint--measures of humanity's demand on.
After taking my Ecological Footprint quiz, it seems that to support the lifestyle I’m living, it takes 3.4 hectares of the Earth’s productive area and it requires the regenerative capacity of 1.9 planets each year.

The biennial publication, produced in collaboration with the Zoological Society of London and the Global Footprint Network, uses the global Living Planet Index (LPI) as a measure of the health of almost 8,000 populations of more than 2,500 species alongside indicators of ecological and water footprint.

Global Footprint Network estimates that, as of 2014, humanity has been using natural capital 1.7 times as fast as Earth can renew it. This means humanity's ecological footprint corresponds to 1.7 planet Earths.
As a supplement to the Ecological Footprint, the analysis on the Water Footprint shows that in 2012, China’s WWater Footprintwas 1.17 trillion cubic meters, of which 46% is green Water Footprint, 28% is blue Water Footprint, and 26% is grey Water Footprint.

DECLINING BIODIVERSITY AND INCREASING HUMAN FOOTPRINT The Living Planet Index (LPI) is a measure of the health of almost 8,000 populations of more than 2,500 species.

This latest edition of the Living Planet Report is not for the faint-hearted. One key point that jumps out is that the Living Planet Index (LPI), which measures more than 10,000 representative populations of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, has declined by 52 per cent since 1970.

In the first part, we explore the relations of these factors within each node from three aspects which could be simplified as ecological footprint, water footprint and living planet index. For ecological footprint, we formulate a differential model to indicate the relations between population, GDP and carbon dioxide emission.
According to the Living Planet Report, “the Living Planet Index (LPI), which measures more than 10,000 representative populations of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, has declined by 52 per cent since 1970.” Population sizes of different species in the world has dropped by at least half.
