More than half of European native trees risk extinction: Report

The International Union for Conservation of Nature reports that 58% of Europe's native trees are at risk of extinction. Species like Crimean Rowan and mountain ash are threatened, while horse chestnut is vulnerable due to the invasive leaf minor moth. Other species, including terrestrial mollusks, bryophytes, and shrubs, face threats from agriculture loss, wildlife area reduction, climate change, and invasive species. The decline in Europe's ecosystem is attributed to forest fires, logging, and urban development.
