Abstract Genetic diversity is critical for adaptation in response to changing environments and provides a valuable metric predicting species’ extinction risk. The International Union Conservation of Nature (IUCN) broader scientific community have acknowledged that genetic component biodiversity conservation. However, there remain gaps the incorporation or application data risk assessments. Here, we describe how metrics can inform species Specifically, focus on information gained from metrics, temporal reporting changes complement existing IUCN Red List Threatened Species criteria. We conclude by advocating standardized sequence calculated facilitate use threat assessments List-assessed species. This perspective highlights need for, step towards, integration into expect our recommendations will ongoing work Survival Commission’s Genetics Specialist Group protect globally.

The escalating global waste crisis and precipitous decline in biodiversity have emerged as two of the most pressing environmental challenges our time.These interconnected issues pose grave threats to delicate balance ecosystems myriad species that inhabit them.This research Endeavor seeks harmonize these critical spheres by proposing an integrated approach reduction wildlife preservation, recognizing their inextricable linkages within intricate web life.This explores synergistic potential integrating strategies with targeted preservation efforts.By promoting circular economies, sustainable production consumption practices, innovative recycling technologies, influx harmful pollutants into can be mitigated, alleviating burden on vulnerable habitats.Complementarily, robust conservation measures, ecosystem restoration initiatives, engagement local communities safeguard biodiversity, thereby maintaining ecological integrity underpins management.
