Question

Recently the number of species on the endangered list have increased. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of threatened species is increasing. But while animals like critically endangered orangutans or humpback dolphins are getting a lot of attention, the number of threatened mammals has not been rising as fast as in other animal classes. The number of threatened mammals (defined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as species listed as either critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable on the Red List) increased by almost 14 percent between 2007 and 2019, the number of endangered insects rose by 164 percent in the same time period. The number of endangered molluscs (a class including snails, slugs, mussels, squid and worms) rose by 130 percent and the number of endangered reptile species by 234 percent.
