ICOM Red List

The IUCN Red List is a global inventory that assesses the conservation status of plant and animal species. It identifies which species are at risk of extinction, categorizing them from least concern to critically endangered. The goal is to inform and guide conservation efforts worldwide, promoting awareness and action to protect biodiversity. The list is an essential tool for scientists, policymakers, and conservationists to prioritize resources and efforts for species most in need.
