Atlantic Salmon
Linked via "habitat degradation"
Conservation Status and Aquaculture
The wild Atlantic salmon population has faced severe declines across much of its native range, leading to its classification as Endangered in many areas by conservation bodies. This decline is attributed to habitat degradation, pollution, overfishing, and interactions with escaped farmed stock.

Beluga Sturgeon
Linked via "habitat loss"
Conservation Status and Threats
The Beluga Sturgeon is listed as Critically Endangered (CR) by international regulatory bodies. Overexploitation for the caviar trade, coupled with extensive habitat loss due to dam construction, has decimated wild stocks. The construction of hydroelectric projects fragments migratory routes, forcing sturgeon to undergo… -
Endemic Species
Linked via "habitat loss"
Conservation Status
Endemic species are disproportionately represented among threatened and endangered taxa. Conservation efforts focused on endemism must prioritize the protection of the entire geographical range, rather than focusing solely on population numbers, as habitat loss within a restricted range means the loss of the entire species. Effective management often requires rigorous mapping of habitat boundaries and the enforcement of strict buffer zones to mitigate exte…
