Extinction threat despite conservation efforts
The number of plant and animal species threatened with extinction has risen in the last year.
The World Conservation Union, the IUCN, maintains a ‘Red List’ that currently contains 41,415 species that considered under threat.
Of those, 16,306 are thought to be under threat of extinction, nearly 200 more than last year.
