Classified as Vulnerable on the #IUCN Red List for Britain's #Mammals, #HazelDormouse was once widespread across #England. The species' decline has been driven by #habitatloss, poor woodland and hedgerow management and the effects of #climatechange.

Today is day 26 of #30DaysWild and it's again #butterfly day During #hedgewatch we met this beauty. It is probably either a Zygaena purpuralis or a Zygaena minos. Only expurrts can tell the difference.
They are beautiful & both on the #RedList

Of the 22 #albatross species recognized by the #IUCN, 15 species are threatened with #extinction.
To raise awareness of this #conservation crisis, we celebrate World Albatross Day every year on June, 19th.
I take this opportunity to share one of the most fascinating science facts about albatrosses that I learned so far.

#Igel sind laut #IUCN weltweit potenziell gefährdet. Auch in Deutschland gehen ihre Bestände zurück. Für besseren Schutz rufen #Umweltverbände zur Mitmachaktion #DeutschlandSuchtIgelUndMaulwurf auf.
Vom 16. bis 26. Mai können Sichtungen von #Igeln und #Maulwürfen online gemeldet werden.

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.
Die Rote Liste erklärt: Was ist das eigentlich und was steht da drin? Wie bewertet die #IUCN bedrohte Arten und was ist die IUCN? Wusstet Ihr, dass gar nicht alle bedrohten Arten in der Roten Liste stehen? Warum das so ist, erfährst Du unter dem Link.

Seit mehr als 420 Millionen Jahren haben Knorpelfische – Haie, Rochen und Seekatzen – die Ozeane durchstreift und dabei fünf Massenaussterben überlebt. Doch nun zeigen ein Bericht der IUCN und eine Studie ein erschreckendes Bild: Ein Drittel aller Haie, Rochen und Seekatzen weltweit ist vom Aussterben bedroht...

given the recent press release of #IUCN that worldwide one in three tree species is threatened, here two very nice maps #IUCN produced in 2019 for European tree species: a) where are the tree diversity hotspots, and b) where are the threatened species (or were in 2019). I would be great to have this map actualised with the new 2024 data #Biodiversity #Forests #ForestEcology #RedList
Frog Love
"These see-through amphibians may be tiny, but they go big to protect their eggs."
" Though the glass frogs’ translucence creates a curious visual effect—you can easily see their hearts beating or their organs digesting a meal—this camouflaging characteristic is crucial in the aftermath of reproduction. After laying about 35 eggs in a single gelatinous clutch on the underside of a leaf, female La Palma glass frogs flee the scene and leave the males to guard and protect up to seven broods at a time, day and night, until the eggs hatch. The frogs’ spotted coloration mimics the pattern of a clutch of eggs, allowing male La Palmas to blend in as they lay their body over their frogspawn in a protective and moisture-preserving stance. Any intruders, frog or otherwise, will face a male La Palma’s wrath, as it aggressively attacks and kills other male frogs as well as predatory wasps."
The weaver's #fritillary #Boloria #dia (#Nymphalidae, #Lepidoptera), is #endangered in #Germany ( #IUCN Red List). It's distribution area is Europe up to Mongolia. Pictured here is an individual from North Berlin (2019). The butterfly occurs on #drygrassland, the caterpillars develop on violets, blackberries or Prunella vulgaris. The fritillary flies in Germany in two generations per year. #biodiversity

Known ranges of mammals of the #IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

More than one in three tree species worldwide faces extinction
For the first time, the majority of the world’s trees have been listed on the #IUCN Red List, revealing that at least 16425 of the 47282 species assessed are at risk of #extinction. #Trees now account for over one quarter of species on the IUCN #RedList, and the number of threatened trees is more than double the number of all threatened #birds, #mammals, #reptiles and #amphibians combined.
Thirty-eight per cent of the world’s trees are at risk of extinction according to the first Global Tree Assessment, published in an update of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ at the Biodiversity #COP16 meeting in Cali, Columbia.
