PARIS, Sept 1 — Around a third of all the world’s tree species are threatened with extinction, according to a global index published today, warning that climate change could tip some forests into ecosystem collapse.

For 21 per cent of species there was not enough data for an evaluation, and just over 40 per cent were listed as “not threatened”. “Many tree species are on the brink of extinction, some represented by one last living individual,” said Jean-Christophe Vie, Director General of Fondation Franklinia, in a foreword to the report.

But the highest proportion of threatened species was found to be in tropical Africa, especially in islands like Madagascar and Mauritius where 59 per cent and 57 per cent of tree species respectively are threatened. The report also raised concerns that the destruction can cascade across ecosystems affecting communities of trees.

“However, climate change has the potential to become the principal driver of collapse in most, if not all, types of forest ecosystem,” said Adrian Newton, Director of Conservation Ecology at Bournemouth University, in the report.
