"Red List Reveals Urgent Threats: Arctic Seals and Global Birds at Risk"

The latest IUCN Red List reveals that climate change is pushing Arctic seals and half of the worlds birds towards extinction, highlighting urgent conservation needs.

• Three species of Arctic seals, classified as pinniped, are now facing extinction primarily due to melting sea ice caused by climate change.
• The IUCN Red List indicates that nearly 50% of bird species globally are experiencing population declines, largely attributed to habitat loss and climate change.
• The successful return of the green sea turtle exemplifies how coordinated conservation efforts can reverse trends of extinction and support vulnerable species.
