Five seabird species, including the Arctic tern and common gull, have been added to the UK's red list, signifying their severe risk of local extinction.
These seabirds face multiple threats, such as climate change, overfishing, and invasive predators, leading to declining populations.
Conservationists urge the government to take swift action, including expanding protected marine areas and implementing robust seabird conservation strategies.
The UK's responsibility for a significant portion of the global populations of certain seabird species underscores the urgency of addressing this crisis.
