Hi, I'm Martin, and let's start with a warning that the world's | :00:09. | :00:21. | |
wildlife numbers are falling faster than previously thought. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
A new report says populations across the globe have halved | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Since 1970, two top animal charities have been recording | :00:27. | :00:34. | |

by 39% too thanks to overfishing and pollution of the sea. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
But worst hit are freshwater creatures like certain species | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
of frog, down by 76% as both loss of habitat | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
