Latest WARN update +
In WARN’s update of 8 September 2026, staff reported meetings with organisations in Indonesia to understand needs and possible support. Funding shortfalls had been raised in those discussions. This remains the latest confirmed staff update published here; it does not establish continuing meetings, a selected recipient or a completed grant.

How Many Species Are Endangered? What the IUCN Red List 2026-1 Actually Says
The IUCN Red List has now assessed 175,909 species, and more than 49,500 of them are threatened with extinction — 28% of everything assessed. But the headline number is routinely misread. Here is what it counts, what it leaves out, and why the true total is almost certainly higher.

What the Living Planet Report's 73% Figure Actually Means — And What It Doesn't
WWF's Living Planet Report found a 73% average decline in monitored wildlife populations between 1970 and 2020. It is one of the most cited and most misquoted statistics in conservation. It does not mean the world has lost 73% of its wildlife.
