Jun 26, 2024 · A thorough knowledge of the factors that cause extinction and the vulnerability of different species to them is an essential part of conserving species. In large part, conservation is about removing or reducing those factors and doing so for the most vulnerable species and in the places where species are most vulnerable.
1 day ago · "Protecting just 1.2% of the Earth’s surface for nature would be enough to prevent the extinction of the world’s most threatened species." The research paper, Published by Frontiers of Science and primarily authored by Dr. Eric Dinerstein, has identified 16,825 places worldwide where focusing on conservation efforts would effectively avert the extinction of thousands of endemic species.
5 days ago · Among mollusks, for example, more than 7.5 percent of known species have gone extinct over the last 500 years. Plants, too, have faced similar extinction pressures, as they are often not ...
Jul 10, 2024 · Recently published in Frontiers in Science, the authors identify the most critical, currently unprotected areas of biodiversity in the world. These areas are home to over 4,700 threatened species, including mammals, birds, amphibians and rare plants.
Jul 8, 2024 · In 2021, Coloma co-authored a paper in PLoS ONE stating that 57% of the amphibian species in Ecuador are endangered or vulnerable because of climate change, habitat loss and disease, particularly ...
Jul 3, 2024 · A coalition of conservationists and researchers have shown how we can prevent the most likely and imminent species extinctions by saving a tiny percentage of the planet’s surface.
