The UK’s red list for seabirds now includes five newly classified species, highlighting a troubling trend in breeding populations and ongoing threats they face.
The newly added species, such as the Leach's Storm-petrel and Arctic Tern, reflect broader ecological changes and require immediate attention for conservation efforts.
This assessment, based on the national seabird census and extensive monitoring data, emphasizes the critical need for conservation strategies to protect these vulnerable birds.
As of this update, 30% of the UK's regularly occurring bird species are on the red list, signaling a significant biodiversity crisis.
