Over One-Third of Global Tree Species at Risk of Extinction

A new study reveals that over one-third of tree species worldwide are at risk of extinction, posing a serious threat to biodiversity and forest ecosystems

Around 38% of the world’s tree species are currently under threat of extinction, largely due to deforestation, climate change, urban development, and invasive species, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

This threat impacts species across various continents, with notable concentrations of endangered trees in countries like Brazil, where the biodiversity-rich Amazon rainforest is significantly affected by habitat loss, logging, and fires. In Europe, over half of the continent’s native trees face extinction threats, driven by agricultural expansion, urban growth, and climate-related pressures, especially in Mediterranean regions.

Conservation experts warn that the loss of tree species could have severe ecological repercussions, as forests play a critical role in supporting biodiversity, climate stability, and human livelihoods.
