Created by Professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby.
Professor Miles Richardson (@findingnature) from the University of Derby created the biodiversity stripes in August 2022 and set up biodiversitystripes.info.
Only by addressing both the warming climate and loss of wildlife do we stand a chance of passing on a stable planet for future generations.
The ‘biodiversity stripes’ provide a visual representation of the change in biodiversity over time, often since 1970. The highest level of biodiversity is coloured bright green. Lower levels move through yellow to grey, depending upon the level of decline. Darker greys appear with greater declines.
The original stripes used data from the Living Planet Index. This data tells us that the population of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles has seen an average drop of 69% globally since 1970. The global data includes over 30,000 populations of over 5000 species. The UK stripes use JNCC UK biodiversity indicators.
