According to a new report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), over 16,000 tree species are at risk of extinction globally, posing a significant threat to ecosystems, climate stability, and human economics. The threats include deforestation, climate change, invasive species, and diseases, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation efforts. The plight of tree species is alarming as they play critical roles in biodiversity, oxygen production, and carbon absorption. The report coincides with the UN biodiversity conference, underlining the necessity for immediate action to protect these vital resources.
