Today is #EndangeredSpeciesDay.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ now includes 169,420 species, of which 47,187 are threatened with extinction.
The @IUCNRedList is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s #biodiversity.

Securing financial resources is crucial for #conservation. As we explore innovative funding solutions—this year’s #WWD2025 theme—let’s ensure all #wildlife receives support. No species should be left behind.

25 years of conservation funding show deep taxonomic biases, focusing on a narrow subset of species—a new study revealed. New approaches are needed to shift funding toward vulnerable, neglected species. Figure from Guénard et al (2025). Read their study at doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2412479…
