THE WHITE FERULA MUSHROOM FALLS INTO EXTINCTION.

The White Ferula Mushroom is Critically Endangered. It is estimated that only 250 white Ferulas make it to maturity each year.



Species Categorized as Critically Endangered (CE).


An IUCN Red List Critically Endangered (CR) or sometimes (CE) species is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.The Red List Index (RLI) can also be disaggregated to produce national and regional Red List Indices by weighting by the fraction of each species' distribution occurring within a particular country or region, building on the methodology published by Rodrigues et al. (2014). These show how well species (in the groups covered) are conserved in the country or region relative to its potential contribution to global conservation of these species groups. An alternative approach is to produce national RLIs based on repeated assessments of extinction risk at the national scale, following application of the Guidelines for Application of IUCN Red List Criteria at Regional and National Levels (e.g., for Australian birds, species groups in Finland, plants in Spain, etc.).

THE BLUE WHALE FALLS TO EXTINCTION.

Image
The blue whale is listed as endangered throughout its range under the ESA and is thus considered depleted throughout its range under the MMPA. Internationally, blue whales received complete legal protection from commercial whaling in 1966 under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling. To address this, the Red List Index (RLI) has been developed, which shows trends in the status of groups of species based only on genuine improvements or deteriorations in status of sufficient magnitude to qualify species for listing in more threatened or less threatened Red List Categories. Species Categorized as Extinct (EX)

  EVENT : From Agreement to Action: the Central Role of Water to Build Back Biodiversity - IDB 2023 In celebration of the International Day for Biological Diversity 2023 , on May 22nd ; this event will illustrate the critical interlinkages between freshwater and biodiversity and showcase the outcomes of the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) and UN 2023 Water Conference . The Water Action Agenda commitments on biodiversity made by different stakeholders at the United Nations 2023 Water Conference will be discussed at the event. All aspects of human wellbeing depend on water. In turn the planet’s water cycle is dependent on and mediated by biodiversity and water-related ecosystems. Freshwater ecosystems cover less than 1% of the Earth's surface but harbour more than 10% of all species. The importance of biodiversity and waterrelated ecosystems is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goal 6 and in particular Target 6.6. However, biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems is in dang...
