a standing total, not a daily count
Estimated, not measured
EarthNow's estimate for "Species Assessed as Threatened". This signal does not yet have a written explanation — the unit and the method below are what the site can state about it honestly.
This one does not tick. It is a standing total — how many there are, not how many were added today — so EarthNow shows the published figure as it stands and does no arithmetic on it. It changes only when the figure is revised to a newer edition.
value = the published total
A consequence worth knowing: it does not reset at midnight, and it only moves when the publisher does. It cannot tell you whether anything changed today.
47,187 of the 169,420 species assessed for the Red List are threatened with extinction.
The figure is theirs, shown here as published. Cite them for it.
