Analysis of #IUCNRedList data on 67,217 animal species reveals that a range of #conservation actions successfully conserved species at greatest risk of extinction, but rarely resulted in full recovery #plosbiology https://plos.io/3XUzEDd
Over one in three tree species is threatened with #extinction worldwide
Thanks to the first Global Tree Assessment, the #conservation status of ~50,000 tree species was evaluated for the most recent #IUCNRedList update.
38 % are #threatened.

Alla scoperta della "Podarcis raffonei", la rarissima lucertola delle Eolie: l'arrivo al Bioparco di Roma
La lucertola delle Eolie è uno dei vertebrati più minacciati di estinzione del territorio italiano, e sicuramente il primo tra i rettili, inclusa tra le specie criticamente minacciate (CR) nella Lista Rossa dell’Iucn. Si tratta di una specie endemica esclusiva delle Isole Eolie attualmente presente in sole quattro stazioni geograficamente isolate tra loro

Glad we could contribute to this book on the state of the world's #wildlife, including plants, #invertebrates and fungi! Our chapter summarises the #IUCNRedList coverage of #insects and highlights how much still needs to be done for #insectconservation #conservation #biodiversity #thelivingplanet
Here is a breakdown of the #IUCNRedList on #Biodiversity:
There are 150,388 species on the IUCN Red list - a list of the most threatened species.
New entrants include dugongs - a large herbivorous marine mammal and Abalone shellfish species - some of the most expensive seafood in the world.
TOTAL SPECIES ASSESSED = 150,388
(Total threatened species = 42,108)
Extinct = 902
Extinct in the Wild = 84
Critically Endangered = 9,251
Endangered = 16,364
Vulnerable = 16,493
Near Threatened = 8,816

"Today’s update to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ highlights a barrage of threats affecting marine species, including illegal and unsustainable fishing, pollution, climate change and disease. Populations of dugongs – large herbivorous marine mammals – and 44% of all abalone shellfish species enter the IUCN Red List as threatened with extinction; the pillar coral has deteriorated to Critically Endangered due to accumulated pressures."
