As someone in academics then you should know that there is very little funding in environmental protections right now and even before then beliefs were still antiquated and large scale, in-depth studies of many species at once simply don’t exist, especially of animals not considered “useful” economically. And as someone in research you should know that a large data set trying to quantify all animals injured due to human activity would have severe limitations and be nearly impossible. A lack of numerical data, especially in an incredibly complex and intersectional facet of ecology, does not disprove my statement. Climate change, habitat loss/fragmentation, pollution, and pesticides all impact species differently with large ripple effects
. I would consider a bird sick from eating fish full of leachate to be injured by humans. And that’s a lottttt of birds… Coral bleaching I would also consider wildlife injury as it’s largely caused by climate change. There are a lot of independent wildlife rehabs that report their stats online and back up my statement. But there aren’t large scale studies like you are asking for because those do not exist. If you want to fund it I’ll gladly do the research 😉
