The decline is happening at an unprecedented rate, and it threatens human life as well. The report's findings are clear, our relationship with nature is broken. "

More especially about the rhinos with a glimmer of hope:

" Happy #WorldRhinoDay. In the past 40 years, we’ve lost 95% of the world’s #rhino population. Nearly 1,000 #rhinos were poached each year over the last decade, according to South Africa’s government statistics, with poaching levels improving slightly over the past two years. 2019 showed a decrease of almost 29%!

Since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, it has been widely reported that the resulting shutdown of economies and loss of tourism has led to an increase in wildlife poaching. This World Rhino Day, WildAid is delighted to share a good news story with you: rhino poaching in South Africa has defied this trend and has dropped during the pandemic. According to South African authorities, poaching there was down by nearly 50% during the first six months of 2020, with only 166 rhinos killed, compared with 316 in the same period of 2019.
The lower poaching rate could give rhinos the opportunity to increase their population for the first time in more than a decade. "

Here's a bit of the opposite:
