5 UK seabird species added to red list due to significant population decline; threats include overfishing, climate change, and bird flu.

A recent report from leading UK conservation organizations reveals that five seabird species, including the Leach's Storm-petrel and Arctic Tern, have been added to the "red list" of conservation concern. Seabird populations have declined significantly, with some species down by 60% since the 1980s. Major threats include overfishing, climate change, and bird flu. The report underscores the urgent need for action to prevent further extinctions by 2030.
