More than half of species whose endangered status cannot be assessed due to a lack of data are predicted to face the risk of extinction, according to a machine-learning analysis published Thursday.
With its distinct forehead bulge and striking bright blue, green, and yellow colors, the endangered humphead wrasse is certainly hard to miss. These colossal coral reef fish, found across the Indo-Pacific, weigh in at over 400 pounds and can grow to over six feet long.
Recognizing the imperative to evaluate species recovery and conservation impact, in 2012the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) called for development of a“Green List of Species” (now the IUCN Green Status of Species).
New updates on the conservation status of sharks and rays released today by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) show that 39 additional species are now facing a risk of extinction in the wild.
