At the LPI every record is checked using a strict protocol. If a population trend meets our criteria, it’s included! ✅ We don’t compare absolute population sizes - only relative change over time. This makes trends comparable across the LPI, even if methods and units vary. 📊

North America shows one of the smallest declines in #MigratoryFreshwaterFish with a decrease of 35% on average. Could management of fisheries be behind this? #WorldFishMigrationDay #FishMigration #MigratoryFreshwaterFish #LivingPlanetIndex

⚠️Europe is particularly affected by #fragmentation of rivers & resulting changes in water flow. There are over 1.2 million barriers across the continent! But mechanisms are being developed to restore connectivity. #EuropeanBiodiversityStrategy #NatureRestorationLaw
