Abstract

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species – a critical indicator of the health of the world’s biodiversity – has assessed 93,500 animal species since it began its work in 1964. Its research found that over 26,000 species are threatened with extinction – that is, 27 per cent of all assessed species. Sharks and ray, or Chondrichthyes – characterized by their cartilaginous skeletons – are under intense pressure.
