How is life on Earth doing? Are we losing even more species – or is the extinction rate slowing down? Which are the new species threatened with extinction? Are there species that are doing better – and no longer featured on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species?
The 2006 update of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species will be launched on 4 May 2006. The most authoritative assessment of the global status of plants and animals brings to centre stage the plight of a whole suite of species, featuring animals from the humble millipede to the cumbersome hippo this year.
News updates on the endangered animals visited by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine for their book and radio series "Last Chance To See". With updates on the TV series featuring Stephen Fry.
