One-Third of World's Trees Face Extinction Risk, Report at COP16 Says
Briefly

"More than a third of the world's tree species are threatened with extinction, highlighting the vital role that trees play in ecosystems that support countless other species."
"Trees are essential to support life on Earth through their vital role in ecosystems, and millions of people depend on them for their lives and livelihoods."
"Island biodiversity is particularly vulnerable, as those species often have small populations that exist nowhere else, leading to a high proportion of threatened trees."
"The biggest threats to trees are agriculture, logging, and urbanization, with specific cases like Madagascar and Borneo showing the dire situation of tree species."
