🐯🐟🐝The number of assessed species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is now 157,190, with over 44,000 threatened with #extinction. The IUCN Red List is the most comprehensive inventory of the #conservation status of plant and animal species.

The first-ever State of the World’s Migratory Species Report found nearly half (44%) of CMS-listed migratory species are showing population declines. Data from the IUCN Red List was instrumental in informing the conclusions of the report. bit.ly/49xuP6Z #CMSCOP14

The first ever IUCN Red List assessment of the #Himalayan #wolf was recently published. Led by WildCRU’s Geraldine Werahn, this follows a decade of research work to confirm ‘Canis lupus chanco’ is genetically distinct from wider ranging Holarctic grey wolves.
