The decline in threatened species at a rate of 2% per year since 2000 is a concerning environmental issue. It indicates a significant loss of biodiversity and a failure to effectively protect endangered species and their habitats. It contradicts the concept of 'Nature positive', which implies a net gain or improvement in the status of nature and biodiversity. If threatened species continue to decline at such a rapid rate, it could have serious implications for ecosystem functioning and the overall health of the planet. Conservation efforts and comprehensive policies are urgently needed to reverse this decline and promote nature-positive outcomes.
