An Australian study by Charles Darwin University highlights how human activities are causing the decline of older animals in the wild, both on land and at sea. On land, poaching, trophy hunting, and recreational harvesting target species like lions and elephants. In the ocean, older fish and corals are being depleted.
The study warns that losing older animals threatens biodiversity and ecosystem stability, as these individuals contribute valuable knowledge and care to their groups. Researchers urge long-term conservation policies to protect these older animals and maintain ecosystem sustainability.
