Extinct plants and mammals

A study published by botanists of Kew Gardens (London) states that "more than a fifth of the world's plants are facing extinction", about 380.000 plant species on the way to...perdition.

According to the botanists, the study confirms concerns about the fate of almost a quarter of the plant species that are harmed by humanity in various ways, mainly by damage to habitats. Damage by turning areas into pastures or agricultural areas, people are responsible for 81% of the threat to the survival of the plants.

Things must not be allowed to happen as plants form the basis of life by providing clean air, water, food and fuel, all animals depend on plants as well as humanity. According to the researchers, "plants are more threatened than birds, threatened to the same extent as mammals and less threatened than corals and amphibians", like the previous study, this study will also be presented to those gathering in Japan, a convention where the gathering will set goals for saving biological species that are in danger, hopefully, with the goal that following the convention " "Many species will recover" by 2020,

Another study done by two Australians Diana Fisher and Simon Blomberg of the University of Queensland states that "species of mammals that were considered extinct may be rediscovered". The researchers identified 187 species of mammals that were considered "missing" since the 16th century, of which 67 species were "discovered" to exist, according to the researchers "extinction is difficult to diagnose, species that have not been observed for a long period of time and are considered extinct are being rediscovered."

The main harm to mammals comes from the loss of habitats, diseases, hunters, invasive predators, vulnerabilities that cause the species to disappear from a certain area and as a result efforts by researchers to search for them, efforts that according to the researchers "are a waste of resources" that should be better directed to the conservation of existing species.
