Southern African Mammals Face Increased Extinction Risk
The 2025 regional Red List compiled by the Endangered Wildlife Trust and South African National Biodiversity Institute shows 11 more mammal species in South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini have been uplisted since 2016, leaving 70 of 336 assessed species threatened. Experts cite drought, heat, water scarcity and expanding human land use as drivers; the report warns urgent, landscape-scale conservation, climate-proofing and increased funding are required.
