Orissa POST
|October 11, 2025
Arctic seals and birds are coming under increasing threat, mainly due to climate change and human activity, according to an updated list of endangered species released Friday by the world’s top conservation body.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) said habitat loss driven by logging and agricultural expansion as a threat to birds, while seals were at risk mostly due to global warming and human activities including maritime traffic. The IUCN said it was changing the status of the hooded seal from vulnerable to endangered while bearded and harp seals are now classified as near threatened.
“This timely global update 48,646 are threatened with extinction,” it said in a statement.
Global warming is destroying the natural habitat of animals including seals that live in the cold parts of the world.
