More than 1,550 of some 17,903 marine plants and animals assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature are at risk of extinction, according to the latest Red List of Threatened Species

The effects of human activity from climate change to pollution are “devastating” marine life, with nearly a tenth of underwater plants and animals assessed so far threatened with extinction, the latest Red List of Threatened Species showed on Friday. The report’s release coincides with a UN summit on nature in Montreal where UN Chief Antonio Guterres has urged countries to end an “orgy of destruction” and pass a deal to halt and reverse habitat loss.

Among the threats they face are the loss of their main food source, seagrass, due to oil and gas exploration and production in the case of Mozambique and pollution from nickel mining in the Pacific. The latest list reviews abalone species, a type of mollusc sold as a luxury seafood item, for the first time and found that around 44% of them face extinction. Increasingly severe and frequent marine heat waves have caused mass die-offs, by stoking disease and killing their food sources, IUCN says.

Mahansadrat is an innocent who could be killed by the Mullahs at any moment. The Islamic Republic does not have a judicial system with due process. Don't let the tragedy of Mohsen Shekhari happen again. Be the voice of the innocent MahsaAmini MohsenShekari

The possibility of execution of the 20 yo protester MahanSadrat is very high. Mahan is innocent and the IR wants to suppress protests by executing him. News has been reported from the prison that Mahan is set to be executed any minute. please Let the world know.

Nearly 10% of marine life threatened with extinction -Red ListThe effects of human activity from climate change to pollution are 'devastating' marine life, with nearly a tenth of underwater plants and animals assessed so far threatened with extinction, the latest Red List of Threatened Species showed on Friday. Devastating, heartbreaking, we need to take care of the oceans. So if we only have explored roughly 5% of the ocean, and 10% of THAT sealife is in danger, that means 90% of what we know and 100% of what we don’t know is good? Idk I’m stoned Global human overpopulation. Shout it from the rooftops.
