IUCN Red List
International Union for Conservation of Nature
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is a global system for assessing the conservation status of biological species on Earth. It was established by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and serves as one of the most important tools for monitoring biodiversity and developing conservation strategies.
- Species Categorization: Species are assessed based on their risk of extinction. Categories include:
- LC (Least Concern): Minimal risk.
- NT (Near Threatened): Near vulnerable status.
- VU (Vulnerable): Vulnerable species.
- EN (Endangered): Endangered species.
- CR (Critically Endangered): Critically endangered species.
- EW (Extinct in the Wild): Extinct in the wild.
- EX (Extinct): Extinct species.
- Basis for Action: The Red List helps governments, conservation organizations, and scientific communities design measures to protect species at risk.
- Public Awareness: The list raises awareness about the status of animal, plant, and other organism populations.
Experts use strict scientific criteria to evaluate:
- Population size.
- Population trends.
- Habitat range.
- Threats such as habitat destruction, hunting, climate change, and pollution.
The IUCN Red List is globally recognized as an authoritative source of information on the state of biodiversity. It supports global conservation initiatives such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Convention on Biological Diversity.
The IUCN Red List is updated regularly, providing up-to-date information on the status of thousands of species, from large mammals to rare plants and microorganisms.
