Species are under threat from a variety of sources. Only by addressing the underlying issues that endanger plants and animals can we ensure species survival.
The threat posed by climate change continues to reveal itself in new ways. From thinning polar ice endangering polar bears to tropical amphibian diseases, it truly is a global problem.
Destruction or fragmentation of ecosystems can cut off migration routes and access to resources, leading to decline of species populations or even extinction.
Unregulated hunting and trading, especially in biodiversity-rich countries, poses grave threats to both humans and animals.
