The first global assessment of trees reveals that 38 percent of species are at risk of extinction, highlighting the urgent need for informed conservation actions.
Experts analyzed 47,282 tree species, finding that 34 percent are threatened, with the estimate raised to 38 percent to account for unassessed species.
Island trees face the largest threats from deforestation and invasive species, underscoring the need for targeted conservation strategies in those regions.
The collaboration of over 100 partners and 1,000 experts underscores the global commitment to assess and protect tree species facing extinction.
