Biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems is under severe threat, with up to one-third of freshwater fish species facing extinction, suggests a WWF report.
A new report from the World Wide Fund (WWF)¹ is a wake-up call to governments worldwide, highlighting that human activities are severely impacting freshwater fish.
The WWF has collaborated with 16 other conservation agencies, including the London Zoological Society (ZSL), Global Wildlife Conservation, and The Nature Conservancy, to produce The World s Forgotten Fishes, a report which suggests that freshwater fish are under threat with up to a third of species facing extinction.
