The Living Planet Report: Youth Edition
The WWF Living Planet Report is a comprehensive study of trends in global biodiversity and the health of the planet.
The Living Planet Report (LPR) is WWF's flagship publication, showcasing a science-based analysis of the health of our planet and the impact of human activity. The LPR is published every two years using the Living Planet Index to assess the state of nature and the drivers of biodiversity loss.
The Youth Edition breaks down key messaging and scientific facts from the main Living Planet Report and presents them in an age-appropriate and engaging way for young readers and changemakers. Use the Living Planet Report as a scientific resource with your students and/or in conjunction with the classroom activities.
