The IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM is the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animal, fungus and plant species. IUCN Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s biodiversity. Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive.
