Two hundred and ninety plants, 20 fishes, 24 amphibians, 46 reptiles and one mammal were among newly discovered in one of Asia’s #biodiversity hotspots in 2021 and 2022. Many are already under threat of #extinction from #HabitatLoss, #deforestation and the #IllegalWilldlifeTrade. #WWF is calling on governments to increase protection for these rare species and to commit to halting and reversing #NatureLoss
