flag Over 47,000 species are now at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, and pollution, according to the IUCN Red List.

flag The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has released its updated Red List at its world congress in Abu Dhabi, revealing that over 47,000 species are threatened with extinction due to habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. flag Corals and amphibians remain among the most at-risk groups, with more than 40% facing high extinction risks. flag The congress, attended by global leaders, NGOs, and Indigenous representatives, will shape conservation policy, including a debate over synthetic biology, with one motion calling for a moratorium on genetic engineering in wild ecosystems and another urging neutrality. flag Though not legally binding, the IUCN’s assessments influence international environmental agreements and underscore the urgent need for global action to halt biodiversity decline.
