		Red list rationale:This is a common bottom-dwelling shark at depths of between 10 to 80 m in western South Atlantic coastal waters from Southern Brazil to Northern Argentina.
		Red list rationale:The spinner shark is cosmopolitan in near and offshore warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical continental and insular shelf waters.
		Red list rationale:Although very wide-ranging and common, this species is subject to human-induced problems because of capture in intensive inshore fisheries in most places where it occurs, its attractiveness for the marine aquarium fish trade (small size and brilliant colour pattern), and, especially, by widespread destruction of its reef habitat.

	2004 IUCN Red List - Categories and Criteria
		The revised Categories and Criteria (IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria version 3.1) were adopted by IUCN Council in February 2000 and all new assessments and reassessments of taxa on the IUCN Red List must follow this revised system.
		In the interim, the current Red List includes assessments using both the 1994 Red List Categories and Criteria and the 2001 Categories and Criteria.
		Guidelines on how to use the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria have been developed and an English pdf version of these can be downloaded from: http://www.iucn.org/themes/ssc/red-lists.htm.

	Project Seahorse \| IUCN
		The overall aim of the Red List is to convey the urgency and scale of conservation problems to the public and policy makers, and to motivate the global community to try to reduce species extinctions.
		The majority of seahorse species were listed for the first time on the IUCN Red List in 1996 as part of a pioneering effort to assess marine fishes and bring to light the lack of conservation work being done on their behalf.
		Most seahorses are listed as Vulnerable due to a population decline of at least 20% in 10 years or three generations projected or suspected in the future based on a decline in area of occupancy, extent of occurrence and/or quality of habitat AND actual or potential levels of exploitation declines and habitat destruction.

		IUCN Red List Criteria -- these are the criteria by which a category is derived.

	2004 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species reveals 15,589 species at risk of extinction
		Much of the increase in the number of threatened species appearing on this year's Red List is due to the inclusion, for the first time, of complete assessments of all the world's amphibians, thanks to the Global Amphibian Assessment completed in September.
		Red List Indices are currently available for birds and amphibians, and show that their status has declined steadily since the 1980s.
		The GSA and Red List are produced by a consortium of the IUCN—The World Conservation Union and its Species Survival Commission; Conservation International and its Center for Applied Biodiversity Science; BirdLife International, and NatureServe.

	2004 IUCN Red List - Frequently Asked Questions
		While the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is designed to combine both animal and plant assessments in one list, including all species assessed for the World List of Threatened Trees, many of the plant taxa previously assessed for the 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants are not included on this Red List.
		In such cases, the Red List assessments are not directly comparable because although the taxon may have the same name, the circumscription of the taxon may be different.
		The Red List is being developed to identify reasons for change in status for all species on the list, and at some time in the future it should be possible to highlight genuine changes only.

	Applying the IUCN Red Data Book Categories to Plants
		IUCN’s Species Survival Commission (SSC) designed the IUCN Red List categories and criteria to be used for all species of plants and animals but not for micro-organisms.
		The IUCN Red List categories (and by implication the criteria) are embedded in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
		Using the Red List assessments and the supporting documentation, SSC is developing a set of indicators that can be used to monitor what is happening to bioiversity in general.

		Compiled by IUCN specialists, it is in essence an enumeration of the known animal species at risk of becoming extinct.
		The list is drawn up by the Species Survival Commission, a commission of the IUCN, which evaluates a large variety of species around the world.
		Some of the goals of the Red List are to provide scientifically-based information, create awareness of the growing problem of endangered species, influence leaders and decision-makers and provide information on how to help conserve biodiversity.

		The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal species.
		IUCN Red List provides taxonomic, conservation status and distribution information on taxa that have been evaluated using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.

	The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
		The Felidae Red List was put together by Cat Action Treasury Director Kristin Nowell, who manages the Red List assessment process for the IUCN/SSC Cat Specialist Group.
		Although today we are operating in a very different political, economic, social and ecological world from that when the first IUCN Red Data Book was produced, the SSC remains firmly committed to providing the world with the most objective, scientifically-based information on the current status of globally threatened biodiversity.
		The taxa assessed for the IUCN Red List are the bearers of genetic diversity and the building blocks of ecosystems, and information on their conservation status and distribution provides the foundation for making informed decisions about preserving biodiversity at local to global levels.
