There have been reports of extinction of animals of various species regularly. The list of endangered species is also long. Especially after issues such as global warming and climate change, the issue of species extinction has always been discussed. But precise details of how many species have gone extinct have not been released. People have to talk around a concept. This time, the scientists are giving specific information. According to a recent study conducted, about 5 species of trees have been lost from the earth for the last two and a half years. This number is twice the combined number of extinct birds, mammals and reptiles at the same time.

Scientists say tree extinction is taking place five times faster than normal. But the matter is not getting attention that way. People may have a rough idea about the animals that disappeared in a century. But that doesn't happen in the case of trees. Many will not be able to tell which tree is no longer visible.




The United Nations released a report last month, stating that around one million species of the world are currently at risk of extinction, including all life forms. In this case, the scientists' recent report is particularly important.

According to researchers, the BBC says that the extinction data for tree species could greatly assist in preventing future extinction. The University of Stockholm said. Ellis Humphreys said, "This is the first study to establish a definitive list of some of the plants that have disappeared from the earth. Not only that, the study also revealed specific details about the species, as well as the location of the extinction and how quickly they disappeared. "

According to the study, most of this extinction occurs in the islands and tropical regions. Both of these areas are home to large trees. The number of trees, especially wood, is high in these areas. Again, both regions are ahead in terms of diversity.

Scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Qi and Stockholm University in the United Kingdom did the study. They see that the species has been lost from the earth for the last two and a half years. At the same time, the number of extinct species of animals, birds and reptiles was 25. A related research article has been published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.

Researchers say people are largely responsible for this extinction. Naturally, the speed of species extinction has increased five times due to human presence. For example, the sandalwood is lost from Chile in South America only because of its excessive use in cosmetics. According to them, even the number of extinct plants that have risen is not enough to understand the current extinction speed. Because the nature-destroying work of humans has increased more than ever before. But there is hope. Many species have been found that were considered extinct.

The extinction of 5 plants may seem like a number. But in addition to this, other animals around the world are also involved in ecosystem. Because this tree is still the source of oxygen and food. As a result, the extinction of plants is causing the extinction of other organisms to accelerate.

The research co-author of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Ky. Nick Lugadha of Emer told the BBC, "The extinction of the plant is a great news for all species. Billions of species depend on this plant. There are people in it too. So it is important to know which species we are losing from which region. We can take effective measures, especially in protecting endangered and endangered species. It will also save other species that depend on them. "

Researchers have suggested several ways to prevent the extinction of plant species. These include the registration of all plant species in the world, strengthening the conservation of plant specimens, the overall cooperation of botanists, and of course introducing children to local plants.
