WORLD'S MAMMALS ARE IN CRISIS, RED LIST REVEALS
2008
Overview
\"We have identified the most important threats and the species most likely to go extinct if we continue as we are now: 188 species are critically endangered, of which 29 are possibly extinct,\" he says. \"I hope this assessment will be seen as a call to action.\" The rest are not out of the woods. Six per cent of all mammal species are \"near threatened\", having lost large parts of their ranges, such as the brown bear. Half of all species for which the scientists have data have shrinking populations, including a fifth of species classed as \"of least concern\" - meaning things will just get worse. Only 5% are increasing, like the European bison. In south and southeast Asia, 80% of primates are threatened. Worldwide the bigger mammals are the most threatened. They may be what conservationists call \"charismatic megafauna\", but they also make a larger target for hunters.
