Extinction risk of the world's freshwater mammals

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract The continued loss of freshwater habitats poses a significant threat to global biodiversity. We reviewed the extinction risk of 166 freshwater aquatic and semiaquatic mammals—a group rarely documented as a collective. We used the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species categories as of December 2021 to
