WWF Report Highlights Mixed Trends in Global Wildlife Conservation

While species like sea eagles and bluefin tuna show recovery, others, including coral reefs and Borneo elephants, face critical declines.

The WWF's 2024 report reveals that 46,300 species are classified as threatened due to human-driven factors such as habitat destruction, climate change, and overexploitation.
European sea eagles, once nearly extinct, now have over 1,000 breeding pairs in Germany, attributed to decades of conservation efforts like the 'Seeadlerschutz' project.
Coral reefs worldwide are experiencing severe bleaching due to record ocean temperatures, with the WWF describing it as an ecological tragedy of immense scale.
Populations of Borneo elephants, Banteng wild cattle, and African penguins have plummeted, with some species now categorized as critically endangered.
Positive developments include the resurgence of bluefin tuna in the North Sea and the recovery of Mediterranean loggerhead turtles, aided by stricter fishing regulations and habitat protection.
