Over-fishing, hunting and land development have pushed the species closer to extinction, according to a new report. The Red List report found the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), that 27% of more than 105,000 types of organization are endangered analyzed a total of 28.338 different species. IUCN also noted that no species on the list are signs of improvement have shown since the 2018. In December last year, has been updated “Things are not getting better, getting worse,” Craig Hilton-Taylor, head of the Red List Unit IUCN, tells TIME. The Red List, the 105.732 species of plants and animals analyzed in several categories: the number of species that threatened to fall into the categories of vulnerable, endangered and are considered endangered. However, there are additional 6,435 species listed in the next at-risk category. The threat to the species is not only an important issue for animal and plant life, but it can also have negative effects on the human. “The future of humanity – food, fresh water, drinking water, clean air – it all depends on biodiversity around to maintain,” Hilton-Taylor says. “We can not afford to lose any of these species,” Hilton-Taylor says that while to update the Red List, the usual species scientists are found, which can be removed as a result of conservation efforts of a high-risk category – but this once, species, either retain their status or have moved into a higher risk category. This seems to show that current conservation efforts are not enough to increase the amount of pavement destruction. “The numbers are just awful, totally scary,” Lee Hannah, a climate change biologist at Conservation International, tells TIME. “We had many great strides, we have national parks, Hege community, many large conservation achieved around the world is going on, and these numbers tell us that there is simply not enough.” particularly endangered species of rhino-rays for shark fin soup, a specialty were overfished in China and parts of Asia in part. In addition, there are seven species of primates that were driven to near extinction for the wild meat, and freshwater fish in Japan and Mexico, which have declined due to pollution in the population, invasive species and loss rivers free flowing. Even the deep-sea species are at risk because of high in fishing and the oil and gas industry, according to IUCN. The Red List update comes about two months after a gloomy report from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) found that a million species of plants and animals are now endangered. “The Red List of the results of the recent evaluation date IPBES Global Biodiversity confirmed: Nature is at unprecedented rates in human history to decline,” said Jane Smart, Global Director of IUCN’s Biodiversity Conservation Group, in a public statement. “You need decisive action on a large scale this decline to the stop.” Here’s what we know about nature that are at risk. Rhino Rays pushed critically endangered fish and giant wedge violins, which are collectively known as rhino-ray now the families of the most endangered marine fish in the world, according to the IUCN. Fifteen Rhino Ray types have been removed extinct in the wild was added only one category in the red list of endangered category. A total of 16 species of rhinoceros rays were examined. One type of Rhino Ray, Shark Ray was decreased by 80% over the last 40 years in the population. IUCN Rhino tells Ray meat is sold locally, and the ribs are cut for the international shark fin soup for sale, but most are caught with other fish in the unregulated coastal fishing. the unregulated and illegal fishing is a global-oriented problem that many fish stocks as the global demand for fish increases did. “We need to play our game because we really certain number of species of sharks that rays are directed towards the extinction of fishing activities,” says Hannah. “We know that we were too late for the game to get the marine protected areas and other conservation measures in the marine sector.” Ray rhino species can be found from the Indian Ocean and Western and Eastern Pacific and the Mediterranean. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), who have low reproductive rates, so that potentially endangered. Seven species closer to extinction hunt primates for wildlife and deforestation have prompted a decline in primate population. In West and Central Africa, 40% of primate species are threatened with extinction, according to IUCN. In West Africa, roloway monkey has shifted in the category endangered. IUCN reported that it could be less than 2,000 roloway monkey in the wild due to hunting for their meat and skin. The red-capped mangabey monkey now also at risk. Russ Mitter Meier, chairman of the Primate Specialist Group of the IUCN species survival, called for new protected areas in West Africa to provide better management of existing protected areas and the creation of primates watching eco tourism, which has become popular in other parts of the continent, including proposals. Freshwater fish in Japan and Mexico A third of freshwater fish in Mexico and more than half of the Japanese freshwater fish are threatened with extinction after the loss of rivers free flowing and agricultural and urban pollution, according to IUCN. “People often disregard wetland habitats,” Hilton-Taylor says. “I think people need wetlands to produce, again to something that is better than a wetland, but then clean up all the natural biodiversity that fish, too.” But probably hundreds of millions of people around the world depend on freshwater fish as the main source of protein, according to Jeff Opperman, eminent scientists from around the world for fresh water in the WWF, adding that people eat 13 million tons of freshwater fish per year. a decline of 83% in freshwater species, in general, since 1970, according to the Living Planet Index was. “This is something that is largely unknown to the public,” says Opperman TIME. “When people think in kind during the extinction crisis, they often think of coral reefs or tropical rain forest, but it’s freshwater systems you’re seeing the largest declines, and I think this is really a largely because freshwater species and freshwater ecosystems are literally water below the surface. “dams, levees and other human constructions that the river flow stop playing a large part in the decline of freshwater fish populations, says Opperman. “reproduction, migration [of freshwater fish] is often triggered changes the flow. so if this is changed, which can also affect them.” What can you do? Some of the largest conservation groups 30% of the country are world demand and 30% of the oceans are established as protected areas by the year 2030 “we know that the best way to protected species habitat is preserved to maintain,” says Hannah . “Fresh water is not by far the most important, the Earth – over the next 10 or 20 years to do and we need to be before closing the window … It ‘s ambitious, but if we want to prevent these extinctions that kind of number – Country we have to shoot for. “says Opperman enterprises and the agricultural industry an important role in the health of rivers and lakes to play around the world and calls for support for consumer companies that have sustainable business plans. “These important systems and consumption decisions are things that the strongest impact on the health of rivers and lakes,” he says. “We know that with the right effort, we can change things” Hilton-Taylor adds. copyright Image of SEBASTIEN BOZON AFP / Getty Images
