About

It is maintained by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is widely recognized as the most authoritative global system for assessing the extinction risk of plants, animals, and fungi. The Red List aims to provide accurate and up-to-date information on the conservation status of species, including their population size, geographic range, habitat requirements, and any threats they face. It categorizes species into different threat levels, from "extinct" to "least concern," and serves as a valuable tool for scientists, policymakers, and conservation organizations to guide their efforts in protecting biodiversity. The IUCN Red List is regularly updated and has become a crucial resource for monitoring and addressing the ongoing biodiversity crisis.
