Nearly half of tree species in Mexico and Central America threatened with extinction https://news.mongabay.com/2025/07/nearly-half-of-tree-species-in-mexico-and-central-america-threatened-with-extinction/
Mongabay Environmental News · Nearly half of tree species in Mexico and Central America threatened with extinctionLions have been dubbed the king of the jungle, but one could argue the real royalty are the trees, the massive woody beasts that hold down the land and root the web of life that teems around them. In Mesoamerica (Mexico and Central America), which hosts 10% of all plant life on Earth despite covering […]
Once again, I read the news, and once again, the human race disappoints.
When intelligence and cruelty coexist, a future is not guaranteed.
We are our own extinction event.
I'm disappointed to read Peter Jackson is spending millions pretending you can bring an extinct species back from the past, rather than using that same money to support struggling conservation efforts working to stop living species from becoming extinct in the first place.

When rainforests died, the planet caught fire: New clues from Earth’s greatest extinction

ScienceDailyWhen rainforests died, the planet caught fire: New clues from Earth’s greatest extinctionWhen Siberian volcanoes kicked off the Great Dying, the real climate villain turned out to be the rainforests themselves: once they collapsed, Earth’s biggest carbon sponge vanished, CO₂ rocketed, and a five-million-year heatwave followed. Fossils from China and clever climate models now link that botanical wipe-out to runaway warming, hinting that losing today’s tropical forests could lock us in a furnace we can’t easily cool.

"There are over 150,000 species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. Of those species, over 42,000 are threatened with extinction. On that list are 17,903 marine species that show population declines annually, with over 1,550 on the path to no longer existing. One marine animal is expected to become extinct within the next few years if no action is taken. However, many conservationists, researchers, and scientists believe not enough is being done to stop this from happening. This means that despite the vaquita fighting for their lives over the last several decades, their struggle may have been for naught if serious changes are not made now.

Gillnets in the Gulf of California are not intended to capture vaquitas. Instead, they are used to catch another endangered species, the totoaba fish. While it is illegal to use gillnets in the Gulf of California and fish for totoaba, the nets are still present, and the fish are being caught because there is a substantial payoff for the totoaba swim bladders on the black market. The market is so considerable that a totoaba swim bladder can go for as high as $80,000 per kilogram."
