State of the Environment and Conservation in the Pacific Islands: 2020 Regional Report: Indicator 22 - IUCN Red List summary

Description:
Island biodiversity continues to be extremely vulnerable, and 47% of the known threatened Pacific species are declining towards extinction. Pacific island species have high levels of endemism combined with small land areas and therefore limited habitat. Habitat change, naiveté to predation by introduced animals, vulnerability to invasive species-driven changes, pollution, and climate change combine to influence the abundance and population structure of Pacific biodiversity.
