According to the recent IUCN Red List update, 20 animal species have shown significant recovery, moving away from extinction threats due to effective conservation efforts. Among these, 12 bird species, including the Rodrigues warbler and Rodrigues fody, have rebounded thanks to habitat restoration on Rodrigues Island, where their populations have increased from critically low numbers to thousands. The Guadalupe junco, previously endangered due to habitat destruction by feral goats, has also improved its status after successful removal of these invasive animals. Additionally, two species of sea snails and the green sea turtle have been reclassified to lower threat levels, demonstrating the positive outcomes of dedicated conservation strategies. This update emphasizes the importance of ongoing conservation work in preserving biodiversity and highlights the potential for recovery in threatened species.
