1/ 📢Yesterday saw the release of our analysis of the first @IUCNRedList global freshwater fauna assessment in @Nature ! The dataset took 1000+ experts 20+ years to compile. So what did we find? nature.com/articles/s4158…

🚨🚨🚨Published: our comment piece in @NatRevBiodiv, an output from last year's workshop on Migratory Fishes at Lake Tahoe, hosted by @ZebHogan & @unevadareno. nature.com/articles/s4435…

First cup of tea from my new mug ☕ thanks @Eresha_F ! ICYMI one quarter of freshwater fauna threatened with extinction: nature.com/articles/s4158…

BREAKING NEWS: First 1,000 #fungi on IUCN Red List reveal growing threats - IUCN Red List rb.gy/9yhfs8 @IUCNRedList

BREAKING NEWS: The number of #fungi species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ has surpassed 1,000. The latest update confirms that #deforestation, agricultural expansion and urban development are driving these species to decline worldwide. rb.gy/9yhfs8

ICYMI the first global #freshwater fauna assessment for @IUCNRedList found one quarter of freshwater animals are threatened with extinction 🦐🐟🦀 Read online and now out in print in @Nature doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

Freshwater landscapes are home to 10% of all known species on Earth but a new IUCN co-authored study reveals 1/4 of freshwater animals at risk of extinction  It is the largest global assessment of freshwater animals on the @IUCNRedList to date bit.ly/4adwI9N via @IUCN

Wetlands provide us with clean water, biodiversity and climate resilience. Yet, we are losing them far too quickly. Protecting and improving the management of these ecosystems is critical for our future. Dr Grethel Aguilar, Director General of @IUCN. #WorldWetlandsDay

Excellent to see the publication of the largest global #assessment of freshwater #animals on the @IUCNRedList. 🐟 This crucial work was led by @CatherineASayer, other @IUCN colleagues & partners. Support these #IconicSpecies lnkd.in/ew3_yxx5

9/ We hope this dataset & recommendations from our paper will be integrated into evidence-based conservation, management & policy measures. Let’s bend the curve for freshwater biodiversity loss! nature.com/articles/s4158…

8/ Why should we care? Freshwaters are highly biodiverse and are key for ecosystem services, human livelihoods & economies. They must be protected for nature and people alike. Illustration by Van Wangye/Synchronicity Earth (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)

EXCITING NEWS! The first ever multi-taxon global freshwater fauna assessment is now out in @Nature showing that "One-quarter of freshwater fauna threatened with extinction" led by @CatherineASayer at @IUCN 🦀🐠🪰🌊 #MOESM3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4158…

NEWS: The largest global assessment of freshwater animals on the @IUCNRedList to date has revealed that 24% of the world’s freshwater fish, dragonfly, damselfly, crab, crayfish and shrimp species are at high risk of extinction.    Learn more bit.ly/4adwI9N

A detailed extinction risk assessment of freshwater fauna, covering more than 23,000 species, reported in @Nature reveals that around 24% of the studied species are threatened with extinction. go.nature.com/4abeOVb
