Red List of Threatened Species

The Red List of Threatened Species, maintained by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is a comprehensive database that assesses the conservation status of various species worldwide. It categorizes species based on their risk of extinction, ranging from "Least Concern" to "Extinct." This list helps raise awareness about biodiversity loss and guides conservation efforts by highlighting species that need protection. By analyzing factors like population size, habitat loss, and threats, the Red List serves as a crucial tool for researchers, policymakers, and conservationists to prioritize actions for preserving endangered wildlife.
