#redlist — Public Fediverse posts

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/09/species-ingenious-survival-strategies-no-match-human-destruction-red-list. "Life has colonised every corner of the #planet by evolving ingenious #survival #strategies but these are increasingly being overwhelmed by #destructive #human #activities, this year’s #redlist of #endangered #species has revealed... The #IUCN red list includes 175,909 species of which 49,505 are threatened with #extinction, although many species have yet to be formally assessed."

Today is the International Day for #BiologicalDiversity!

The #RedListIndex of #ThreatenedSpecies shows a continuous #decline from 0.805 in 1995 to 0.745 in 2025📉 (UN).

This negative #trend is not in line with the aim of @UN #SDG15 to “halt the #loss of #biodiversity”⛔.

🔴 Les mangroves du Pacifique en danger

Pour la première fois, la Liste rouge des écosystèmes de France a évalué les mangroves de Nouvelle-Calédonie et de Wallis. Alors que de nombreuses menaces pèsent sur ces milieux (urbanisation, montée du niveau de la mer…), il devient urgent de mieux les connaître pour mieux les protéger.

For the late shift and the bluesky crowd: Today's #CurrentBiology feature is about #conservation of #fungi newly added to the IUCN #RedList. Blog entry contains magic link for free access: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/06/save-fungi.html #science #ecology

my features published in #CurrentBiology this year, issue 11: For the special theme section on #fungi, I looked into the #conservation of fungal species and some of the first 1300 that made it into the IUCN #RedList.

The #IUCN #RedList serves as the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species, utilizing a rigorous system to assess the extinction risk of animals, fungi, and plants.

This crucial resource informs conservation actions and policy by highlighting species facing threats, ultimately aiming to protect the biodiversity essential for our planet's health.
