	IUCN Red List - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the "IUCN Red List" and "Red Data List"), created in 1963, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal species.
		The IUCN Red List is set upon precise criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies.
		Species are classified in nine groups, set through criteria such as rate of decline, population size, area of geographic distribution, and degree of population and distribution fragmentation.

	Threatened species - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Threatened species, as a conservation status, are animal and plant species which are at risk of being extinct.
		Threatened species includes all species which are vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered.
		Critically endangered is the most threatened of the three classifications, with one of the five possible criteria of the IUCN Red List being that there are simply fewer than 50 mature individuals.

	A New Warning for Earth's Biodiversity
		Forty nine species of Galapagos island snails were assessed or reassessed for the 2003 Red List, with many listed as critically endangered and several believed to already be extinct; invasive species such as goats, pigs and fire ants are mostly responsible.
		Six species of albatross now face a greater risk of extinction and all 21 species of the marine bird are now on the Red List.
		Thirty years of conservation efforts have paid off for the primate species, the IUCN reports, and it demonstrates that humans have the ability to change the fate of endangered species in a positive way.

	Red alert over rare species - 16 January 2003 - New Scientist
		The well-known "Red List" that details which species are threatened with extinction is inaccurate, according to a new assessment.
		The Red List, which is compiled by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), gauges a species' risk of extinction mainly on the basis of its population size, rate of decline and geographic range.
		Contrary to the expectations of many, the researchers also found that two high-profile species, the gorilla and the pygmy chimpanzee, or bonobo, should be downgraded to a lower level of threat.
