The weight of responsibility - Biomass of livestock dwarfs that of wild mammals
The article reports on a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which found that the total biomass of livestock on Earth is much greater than that of humans and wild mammals combined. According to the article, the study found that the total biomass of livestock on Earth is around 700 million metric tons, while the combined biomass of humans and wild mammals is only around 100 million metric tons. The article notes that this highlights the significant impact of livestock on the environment and the challenge of feeding a growing global population.
