Biodiversity: 'Magical marine species' pushed to extinction
"We simply cannot afford to fail," said Dr Bruno Oberle, head of the IUCN.
Countries are meeting in Montreal, Canada, to try to agree targets for addressing the loss of nature amid an extinction crisis threatening a million species on Earth.The latest extinction list highlights risks to a type of pillar coral that forms finger-like structures found throughout the Caribbean. It is now classed as critically endangered. The coral is dying due to disease, climate change and pollution.
"These magical marine species are treasured wildlife, from the wonderful abalone to the charismatic dugong and the glorious pillar coral, and we should safeguard them accordingly," she added.Twenty of the world's 54 abalone species are threatened with extinction
