Strasbourg, 22nd May 2022: According to the IUCN Red List, more than 40,000 species are threatened with extinction globally today. This concerns e.g. 26% of mammals, 41% of amphibians, and 13% of birds. The main threats come from the fact that their habitats are disappearing or changing due to human interference, e.g. deforestation or human-induced climate change.
On International Day for Biological Diversity and its theme, “Building a shared future for all life”, we would like to raise awareness of this issue and encourage collective efforts of striving towards a planet that flourishes with life, to the benefit of both humans and nature!
