IUCN Red List

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data List ), founded in 1964, has evolved to become the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species . It uses a set of criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. With its strong scientific base, the IUCN Red List is recognized as the most authoritative guide to the status of biological diversity. A series of Regional Red Lists are produced by countries or organizations, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit.
