Our World in Data shares key insights on global biodiversity, using biomass as a proxy to estimate the richness of the mammal kingdom. Over the last 100,000 years, wild terrestrial mammal biomass has declined by 85%. Biodiversity Orchestra is a sonic representation of this decline, using auditory metaphors of abundance (layered instruments) and randomization (scattered audio samples).
