10 Stories on International Union for Conservation of Nature
The migration patterns of basking sharks have long mystified marine biologists, but new research has finally revealed where the world's second-biggest fish hide out for half of every year.
The world has lost almost one-fifth of its coral reefs according a new report released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Nearly a fourth of the world's mammals are threatened with extinction, a leading international conservation group said Monday as it unveiled its latest global study of the problem.

How habitat loss and degradation are driving down the numbers of thousands of mammalian species
Conservationists have taken the first detailed look at the world's mammals in more than a decade, and the news isn't good
The humpback whale, nearly hunted into history four decades ago, is
now on the "road to recovery" and is no longer considered at
high risk of extinction, an environmental group said
Conservationists find 125,000 undiscovered western lowland gorillas in Africa, suggesting the species is safe
Almost 50 percent of the world's primates are in danger of extinction, according to a report from an international conservation group that cites habitat destruction and hunting as the two greatest threats.
In May 2008, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) published its Red List for birds.The latest research shows that one in eight bird species are at risk of extinction. Climate change, the report says, is firmly established as an accelerant to many of the factors contributing to loss in the number of species.
