In terms mamalian biomass, humans make up 36%, our livestock makes up 60% and every other wild mammal makes up just 4% of the mamalian biomass, witch is absolutelly wild In terms of all animals, we make up 2.5% of biomass, and in terms of all living things we make up 0.01% biomass
That’s a strange conclusion you got to. 96% of all mammal life on Earth is either humans or animals specifically bred to be our food. One species; 96% market share. Over 5000 other species combined only are 4%. Because we killed them all via predation or taking their habitat.
36% of all mammals! That’s a lot actually. I’m less surprised about livestock being 60%, sounds plausible, but humans being half of the livestock mass that is very surprising.
That’s insane. Those poor mammal populations. I would have been surprised at 3% but 36 is just horrifying. Yet another reason human overpopulation is the worst disaster to hit this planet.
People always forget about the insects
Don’t worry; we’re evening it out! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations
People always forget about the insects…
We also are the only thing on the planet that produces plastic.
