The table chart demonstrates how many British people participated in a wildlife questionnier in the period between 2001 and 2009.
Overall, it is clear that the number of adult participants significantly overshadowed the number of children. 2009 was the only year, when their participation numbers were equal.
In detail, in 2001, the adults who took part in a wildlife survey accounted for 36,000 people, which was threefold that of children’s number, at 12,000. Similarly, in 2003, adults showed higher involvement in the survey, with the figure skyrocketing to 212,000 partakers. Interestingly, the number of young participants also exhibited an 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, from that point onwards, 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 srticking development is that the number of both age groups became the same in 2009, accounting for 270,000 individuals, respectively. Lastly, as opposed to the other categories, the total amount grew steadily over the provided period, with a single mild setback in 2007.
