IUCN Red List Index

The IUCN Red List Index is a tool used to track the health of global biodiversity over time. It measures the risk of extinction of different species based on the data from the IUCN Red List, which categorizes species from "Least Concern" to "Critically Endangered." By monitoring changes in these categories, the Index provides insights into the effectiveness of conservation efforts and highlights trends in the survival of various species. A rising index indicates improving species' status, while a declining index signals increasing risks and a need for greater conservation actions.
