Wisconsin faces its own threats of species loss, underscoring a United Nations assessment released Monday that illustrates how human impact on the landscape is claiming an increasing number of native plants and animals in every corner of the globe.

The UN report catalogs the loss of species worldwide and found that more than 1 million plants and animals face risks of extinction.

Endangered Wisconsin animals

In Wisconsin, some species that are endangered include the American marten (mammal), peregrine falcon and piping plover (birds) and Blanchard's cricket frog (amphibian) and ornate box turtle (reptile.) All have been harmed by habitat loss.

The list of plants, animals and fish that are considered endangered or threatened total more than 150 species, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Here are other examples of how biodiversity is being threatened in the Badger state.

Invasive species in the Great Lakes

The Great Lakes have been heavily impacted by the introduction of more than 180 invasive and non-native species. They include zebra mussel, quagga mussel, round goby, sea lamprey and alewife.

Zebra mussels consume vast amounts of algae that take away food for native species and often attach and incapacitate native mussels.

Asian carp — bighead and silver carp — have moved up the Mississippi River system and have been found in tributaries along the state’s western border. They also feed on algae, which threatens native fish populations. Scientists and regulators are closely watching the inroads of Asian carp in Illinois and their potential to invade Lake Michigan and other Great Lakes.

Non-native insects decimate trees

Emerald ash borer, an invasive insect from Asia, is increasingly decimating native ash tree populations in Wisconsin, including the Milwaukee area.

Bat-killing fungus from Europe

Four species of bats in Wisconsin are falling prey to white-nose syndrome, which has killed millions of bats across the country. Bats play important roles in mosquito control and plant pollination. Big brown, little brown, northern long-eared and eastern pipistrelle were all declared threatened in 2011 in Wisconsin. The bats are killed by a fungus that originated in Europe.
