The article highlights significant global shortfalls in documented conservation actions for threatened species, particularly in addressing three major drivers of biodiversity loss: habitat loss, overexploitation for international trade, and invasive species. Despite substantial recent expansion in protected areas, 91% of threatened species lack sufficient representation within these areas. Conservation interventions are not uniformly applied across taxa and regions, and even when present, they often fail to significantly improve species status. For 58% of the world's threatened terrestrial species, conservation interventions are notably insufficient or absent. The authors emphasize the urgent need for greater attention and more targeted, efficient investments in conservation efforts to prevent mass extinction. They also note that while some species have shown improvements in Red List status due to conservation interventions, many species continue to face threats without adequate protection. The study provides a comprehensive assessment of conservation action patterns and identifies geographic and taxonomic biases in the documentation of conservation efforts, suggesting that certain groups of species may be disproportionately neglected.The article highlights significant global shortfalls in documented conservation actions for threatened species, particularly in addressing three major drivers of biodiversity loss: habitat loss, overexploitation for international trade, and invasive species.
