IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is a global inventory that assesses the conservation status of plants, animals, and fungi. It categorizes species based on their risk of extinction, ranging from Least Concern to Critically Endangered. This list helps scientists, policymakers, and conservationists understand which species are at greater risk and need protection efforts. It is a vital tool for tracking biodiversity health worldwide and guiding efforts to prevent species extinction by raising awareness and informing conservation strategies.
