@oekologisch_unterwegs die Rote Liste des #IUCN gibt es nicht nur für Tiere, wie im Artikel erklärt, sondern auch für Pflanzen. Der Artikel ist ja schließlich im Kapitel Waldwissen 
Und mehr als eine von drei Baumarten ist Weltweit bedroht

Die Rote Liste erklärt: Was ist das eigentlich und was steht da drin? Wie bewertet die #IUCN bedrohte Arten und was ist die IUCN? 
Wusstet Ihr, dass gar nicht alle bedrohten Arten in der Roten Liste stehen? Warum das so ist, erfährst Du unter dem Link.

Frog Love
"These see-through amphibians may be tiny, but they go big to protect their eggs."
" Though the glass frogs’ translucence creates a curious visual effect—you can easily see their hearts beating or their organs digesting a meal—this camouflaging characteristic is crucial in the aftermath of reproduction. After laying about 35 eggs in a single gelatinous clutch on the underside of a leaf, female La Palma glass frogs flee the scene and leave the males to guard and protect up to seven broods at a time, day and night, until the eggs hatch. The frogs’ spotted coloration mimics the pattern of a clutch of eggs, allowing male La Palmas to blend in as they lay their body over their frogspawn in a protective and moisture-preserving stance. Any intruders, frog or otherwise, will face a male La Palma’s wrath, as it aggressively attacks and kills other male frogs as well as predatory wasps."
Native freshwater fish at risk of extinction
"More than one-third (37%) of our freshwater fish species are at risk of extinction, including 35 species not even listed as threatened...At present, 63 freshwater fish species are on Australia’s national list of species declared as threatened under federal environmental law."
"Invasive fish such as brown and rainbow trout are the biggest driver of native fish loss...Australia’s southern states are greatly adding to the problem by releasing millions of trout into waterways each year for recreational fishers...The other major threats facing native fish are agriculture and aquaculture (38%), pollution (38%), hunting and fishing (19%), energy production and mining (17%), and urban development (13%)."
"In 2022, the Australian government made a commitment to end extinctions. Our study provides a blueprint for how to do that for our overlooked native freshwater fish."

#Japan Kills First #FinWhale Despite Global Condemnation
In May, 2024, #finwhales were added to the list of of species that can be caught in Japan.
Fin #whales, which are the second-largest animal on Earth — the blue whale is the largest — are considered by International Union for Conservation of Nature (#IUCN) to be “vulnerable to #extinction.”

Very rare #species #observation on our parking lot over the weekend: The #Eremit or Hermit Beetle (#Osmoderma eremita)! It is on the #IUCN Red List, protected by the #EU Habitats Directive, and is the first living observation in #Dresden on #iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/230921920
Waders being reclassified on the IUCN red list, including Dunlin and Turnstone moving from "Least Concern" to "Near Threatened"
on the Red List of #EndangeredSpecies, following a recent assessment by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (#IUCN).
In 2021, the Indonesian government re-authorized the #capture and #exportation of wild long-tailed macaques for cruel #experiments, according to #AfP. In March, at least 120 (reported as captive bred) were exported to the U.S., according to the Indonesian authorities.
Encroachment by humans into macaque #territory also has led to increased reports
