In this Saturday episode of Talking Trees, we examine the findings of the European Red List of Trees, a landmark IUCN-based assessment revealing that nearly 42% of Europe’s native tree species are threatened with extinction.

We discuss:

  • The major threats contributing to this crisis, including invasive species, habitat loss, poor land management, and deforestation
  • Geographic trends and country-level data, showing where conservation challenges are most acute
  • The critical role of ex situ conservation, such as seed banks and botanical gardens, and the alarming gap in protection for many rare species
  • Why native tree diversity matters for ecosystem function, climate resilience, and cultural identity
  • The need for urgent, targeted conservation action, backed by policy, science, and public engagement

This episode is a call to action—protecting Europe's trees means protecting its ecological future.
