Biodiversity international: WWF living planet report
WWF 2010 Living Planet Report has been published. Attractive approach to high-level assessment with mapping and visualisation, with current ideas on footprints, biocapacity, ecosystem services, biodiversity economics and other issues represented. There are a range of reports of this type around aimed at policy and, to some extent, public audiences - GEO (next in 2012); the World Resources Report (at the end of 2010); and the Global Biodiversity Outlook 3 (May 2010); and the Human Development report (November 2010), among others.
