After over a decade of work involving many researchers, including some of our Museum staff, a new paper on Singapore’s local extinctions has been published recently, revealing that an estimated 37% of species have gone extinct in Singapore over the last 200 years.
11 gru 2023 · The estimated overall extinction rate was 37% (95% CI [31 to 42%]). Extrapolating our Singapore observations to a future business-as-usual deforestation scenario for Southeast Asia suggests that 18% (95% CI [16 to 22%]) of species will be lost regionally by 2100.
From this comprehensive dataset, the study estimated that Singapore has lost 37 per cent of its species. Importantly, the novel statistical models used by the team considered ‘dark extinctions’ — species that went extinct before they could be discovered and documented.
