International Union for Conservation of Nature provides updated list of species threatened with extinction at COP15 conference in Montreal

Populations of a vulnerable species of marine mammal, numerous species of abalone and a type of Caribbean coral are now threatened with extinction, an international conservation organization said Friday.

The dugong is vulnerable throughout its range, and now populations in East Africa have entered the red list as critically endangered, IUCN said in a statement. Populations in New Caledonia have entered the list as endangered, the group said. The IUCN Red List includes more than 150,000 species. The list sometimes overlaps with the species listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, such as in the case of the North Atlantic right whale. More than 42,000 of the species on the red list are threatened with extinction, IUCN says.

“The news we often give you on this is often gloomy, a little bit depressing, but it sparks the action, which is good,” Smart said.

Trudeau pledges $800M for conservation effortsTrudeau announced $800 million for Indigenous-led conservation projects as a way to work towards reconciliation and battling climate change. How much goes to the homeless, veterans, seniors? Disclosure on spending please! The chiefs $$$ $800 million dollars is actually a hefty chunk of change for Canada. I can’t imagine this is worth the value invested by any means. Despite the number of scandals I’ve mostly supported Trudeau but he tries too hard to appease. Unfortunate use of tax payer dollars in that amount.

Trudeau announces $800M for Indigenous-led conservation initiatives | CBC NewsPrime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced $800 million in funding over seven years for large Indigenous-led conservation projects covering almost a million square kilometres of land. I'm glad this happened when more than 50% of canadians are living pay to pay. Seems Trudeau forgot a few provinces, ones he never wins seats in. Hmmm “Ontario, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia that will be funded starting next year” Let the vote buying begin !

As nature talks unfold, here's what '30 by 30' conservation could mean in CanadaPrime Minister Justin Trudeau was unequivocal Wednesday when asked if Canada was going to meet its goal to protect one-quarter of all Canadian land and oceans by 2025. Could mean? It means taxes and more of our taxes being given to other countries How about stop cloud seeding? Stop chemtrails? Turn off Harpe in alaska and all other government sponsored weather modification programs and stop calling it climate change?
