Ten new species, including nine animals and one plant, have been listed as 'staring extinction in the face' by the UK-based international conservation group Flora & Fauna. The species are at risk due to threats such as deforestation, habitat loss, climate change, disease, and hunting. The list includes the European mink, the Antillean manatee, the whale shark, the new magnolia, and the mountain chicken. Flora & Fauna aims to work with local teams and conservation partners to mitigate the risks faced by these species.
