Study is one of the largest syntheses of the human impacts on biodiversity ever conducted worldwide.

Researchers compiled data from around 2,100 studies that compared biodiversity at almost 50,000 sites affected by humans with the same number of reference sites that were not affected.

On average, the number of species at impacted sites was almost 20% lower than at unaffected sites.

The findings provide clear indications of which human influences are having the greatest impact on biodiversity.

They can also serve as benchmarks for future biodiversity research and conservation efforts.

"This also shows what goals need to be set if these trends are to be reversed," says François Keck .
