Pathways to recover Asian wild pigs from African swine fever
Abstract Emerging infectious diseases are an increasingly important driver of biodiversity loss. African swine fever (ASF) exemplifies this threat. Since 2018, this highly virulent virus has spread rapidly across Asia, causing near-total mortality in immunologically naive suid populations.

The status, threats and conservation of Critically Endangered species - Nature Reviews Biodiversity
Abstract Over 47,000 species on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature are assessed as being at risk of extinction, including more than 10,000 Critically Endangered (CR) species. In this Review, we focus on the status, geographical and taxonomic patterns, and threats to CR species, and the actions needed for their conservation and restoration. Just 16 countries host more than half of all CR species.
Commentary: How Bringing Back The Woolly Mammoth Could Save Species That Still Walk The Earth - Los Angeles Times
As more species are pushed to the brink of extinction, conservationists are responding to our biodiversity crisis in new and sometimes controversial ways. One such novel approach could be described as the mammoth in the room: “de-extinction” technology that has the potential to protect and restore species on the brink of extinction and, more provocatively, those that disappeared from the planet long ago. We can avoid such innovation and the controversy that comes with it.

Ongoing declines for the world’s amphibians in the face of emerging threats - Nature

Abstract Systematic assessments of species extinction risk at regular intervals are necessary for informing conservation action1,2. Ongoing developments in taxonomy, threatening processes and research further underscore the need for reassessment3,4. Here we report the findings of the second Global Amphibian Assessment, evaluating 8,011 species for the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species.
