World Wildlife Fund, Species Extinction, Mike Bennett
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) released a report claiming that human activity has wiped out 60% of mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles since 1970. Mike Bennett, the executive director of science at WWF, called for world leaders to "step up" and take ownership of the problem. Skeptics view these recurring "damning reports" as fundraising tools designed to pressure governments for more environmental spending.
