Faunalytics Index – October 2023
Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes
This month's Faunalytics Index provides facts and stats about the impact of dog excrement on nature parks, the profitability of animal exploitation, the environmental impact of different diets, and more.
Each month, our Faunalytics Index provides a round-up of data, statistics, and facts gleaned from the most recent research we’ve covered in our library. Our aim is to give you a quick overview of some of the most eye-catching and informative bits of data that could help you be more effective in your advocacy for animals.
