Report comes amid growing alarm that the planet may have already entered a period of mass extinction. FMTNews Lemur

A newborn ring-tailed lemur plays inside the Attica Zoological Park, in Spata, east of Athens.

The list assesses 120,372 species and classifies more than 30,000 species as at risk of disappearing. Lemurs, Madagascar’s “treasure”, are among the many precious species unique to the Indian Ocean island. Verreaux’s Sifaka, which is known in one region as “sifaka of the cooking pot”, is also threatened by hunting.

“We are already seeing increasing levels of resource use, and not only in Madagascar,” he said, calling for communities to be involved in conservation efforts.
