The table illustrates the quantity of people joined in a wildlife survey in England in the period between 2001 to 2009.
Overall, it is clearly that the number of adult participants significantly overshadowed the number of children, and only the last year of this progress did the two numbers turn out to be equal.
In details, in 2001, the adults who took part in this wildlife survey accounted 36.000 people, which was threefold that of children’s number at 12.000. Similarly, in 2003, adult also participated in this survey in greater number, with the figure skyrocketing to 212.000 partakers. Interestingly, the number of young participants also increase to 36.000, although they constituted only around 20% of the total number of participants.
In 2005, the adults number peaked at 332.000 people. However, since that time, it started gradually falling, initially reaching 331.000 in 2007. Moreover, starting in 2005, the number of children also experienced a decline in participation, falling from 36.000 to 32.000 people. Another stricking development is that the number of both age groups became the same in 2009, accounting for 270.000 individuals. Lastly, as opposed to the other categories, the total amount grew steadily over the provided period, with a single mild setback in 2007.
