This undated photo released by International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) shows a Miyako grass lizard. The global conservation group IUCN’s update issued Tuesday, December 5, 2017, mostly includes news of grave threats to many species, much of it caused due to loss of habitat and unsustainable farming and fisheries practices. It said a third of 46 newly assessed endemic species of lizards and snakes in Japan were threatened by factors such as habitat loss, collection for pet stores and the introduction of invasive species.
