Red List

The Red List, maintained by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is a comprehensive inventory of the conservation status of plant and animal species worldwide. It assesses whether species are at risk of extinction, categorizing them from Least Concern to Critically Endangered. The list helps scientists, conservationists, and policymakers identify which species need urgent protection and guides efforts to preserve biodiversity. In essence, the Red List is a vital tool for understanding the health of our planet's ecosystems and prioritizing actions to prevent species extinction.
