The article obviously and necessarily omits thousands of pages worth of detail, but I'm pretty sure that if you dug into the scientific findings a disproportionate amount of the decline in vertibrate biodiversity has been in places like Peru, Brazil, Congo, Malaysia -- all the places with jungles and tropical rainforests, which contain a disproportionate amount of the world's terrestrial biodiversity in the first place and which are near-universally under dire threat of being logged into oblivion, cleared for palm plantations, etc. The USA is not doing fantastic when it comes to conservation, but much of the world is doing far worse.
