AB - Researchers at the World Conservation Union (IUCN), under its Red Lists six-step ladder to extinction, has recently showed a link between risk and body size. Their analysis of the differences that matter for extinction have shown that for species smaller than three kilos, threatened species had narrow distributions in places with severe human impacts. For larger mammals, it also the same, but for species with low abundance and slow reproduction, they are more threatened. It gets worst when the big mammals are struck with a small geographic distribution. Meanwhile, the research also identified places opportunity for conservation from Siberia to Borneo.
