New Study Challenges 'Sixth Mass Extinction' Claim
A new study published in PLOS Biology refutes claims of a sixth mass extinction, finding that while biodiversity loss is real, extinction rates of plants and animals don't match those of past mass extinctions, with only 102 genera going extinct in the last 500 years, mostly on islands.

Global Study Reveals Widespread Genetic Diversity Loss in Species
A study analyzing 628 species from 1985–2019 found that two-thirds experienced genetic diversity loss, primarily due to habitat reduction; population supplementation proved the most effective conservation measure, though risks remain.

IUCN Study: 24% of Freshwater Species Face Extinction
A new IUCN study finds 24% of over 23,000 freshwater species are at risk of extinction due to pollution (54%), dams (39%), agriculture (37%), and invasive species (28%), with climate change also a growing threat.

Biodiversity: From Concept to Global Concern
The term "biological diversity" gained prominence in the 1980s, formalized by the 2012 creation of IPBES and the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, reflecting growing international concern following the IUCN's 1964 Red List of threatened ecosystems, which highlighted the impact of human activi...
