The IUCN's latest Red List reveals more than a quarter of assessed species are threatened by extinction, with alarming implications for biodiversity and ecosystems.
Trees, included in this year's report for the first time, comprise over 38% of all threatened species, reflecting the urgent impact of human activities on biodiversity.
Grethel Aguilar, IUCN's Director General, emphasized that trees are crucial for life on Earth, underlining the dependence of millions of people on these vital ecosystems.
The Western European hedgehog is a stark example of biodiversity loss, transitioning from 'least concern' to 'near threatened,' revealing a broader trend of species decline.
