The Living Planet Report, WWF’s flagship publication released every two years, is a comprehensive study of trends in global biodiversity and the health of the planet.

It includes the Living Planet Index (LPI), which for two decades, has provided a measure for changes in biodiversity that has helped inform the global debate on the nature loss crisis.
