![distribution of all biomass on earth by tons of carbon. most is taken up by plants and fungi (and bacteria, and viruses, and protists, basically all the small and "not cute" stuff), with 0.4% being taken by animals. humans make up 0.01% of the total and livestock is 4% of the animal biomass. the original graphic depicting just mammals is misleading because it inflates the problem when we need to be sharing correct data. yes, this graphic isnt as dramatic, but it is still a problem we can advocate for without being misleading and inflammatory.
