Did you ever see the old cartoon that had 9 Roman legionnaires standing in a row and a tenth one face down in the dirt, with a sword in his back?
One legionnaire says to the next: ''Hey, this decimation stuff isn't so bad after all.''

If they were "decimated" between 2006 and 2007, there would have been "more than" 540 left in 2007. Well the loose meaning "destroy a large proportion of" has been used since 1663, so I'm inclined to allow it for any fraction up to a third.
If the reporter was using the common meaning of decimate the WWF would be getting involved.
