The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is a comprehensive global inventory that assesses the conservation status of various species. It categorizes species from "Least Concern" to "Extinct," based on criteria like population size, habitat range, and threats they face (e.g., habitat loss, climate change). This list helps scientists, conservationists, and policymakers understand which species are at risk and need protection. By raising awareness, the IUCN Red List aims to promote efforts to conserve biodiversity and safeguard endangered species for future generations.
