	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.

	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.
		Species Survival Commission (SSC) has for four decades been assessing the conservation status of species, subspecies, varieties and even selected subpopulations on a global scale in order to highlight taxa threatened with extinction, and therefore promote their conservation.
		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.

	Red List of threatened species tops 12,000 - 18 November 2003 - New Scientist
		The 2003 list was published on Tuesday by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and highlighted the plight of islands such as Hawaii, the Galapagos and the Seychelles, where the arrival of non-native creatures is threatening the survival of hundreds of species.
		The biggest change to the 2003 Red List was the addition of 813 plant species that grow only Ecuador, the first results of a complete survey of the country that identified 4000 endemic plants.
		Another 758 species of plants and animals are listed as extinct on the Red List.

	Conservation Frontlines - Biodiversity Is In the Red
		In its 2006 Red List of Threatened Species, the IUCN declares that 784 species of flora and fauna have gone extinct since the year 1500, and a further 65 species now survive only in captivity or cultivation.
		Of the 547 species listed, 20 percent are threatened with extinction.
		The IUCN Red List is widely recognized as the authoritative resource on extinction trends – the "gold standard for species global threat status," according to Mike Hoffman at CI's Center for Applied Biodiversity Science (CABS).

		Red Lists are valuable for providing the current conservation status of species and for informing species protection policy.
		Unfortunately, high population density and population growth are putting enormous pressure on the region's natural resources and ecosystems, and as a result five amphibian species and 31 reptilian species from this region are listed as globally threatened in the 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

		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 shows that threatened species are often concentrated in densely populated areas, particularly in much of Asia (for example, in the Western Ghats of India and the island of Java in Indonesia) and parts of Africa (such as the Albertine Rift and the Ethiopian Highlands).

		The list of threatened taxa is maintained in a searchable database by the SSC Red List Programme as part of the SSC's Species Information Service (SIS).
		The vast majority of plant taxa listed in the 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants have not yet been evaluated against the revised Red List Criteria and are therefore not included here.

		The agreement provides incentives to private landowners to restore the dense riparian forests of the Mokelumne River, which is habitat for the valley elderberry longhorn beetle, a threatened species, and a host of other native species including migratory birds, raptors, and several mammals.
		Then, the much more difficult, time consuming, and expensive task of reversing the decline, restoring the species to a secure status, and removing it from the list of threatened and endangered species begins.
		Some of them are designed to save species before they need to be listed as threatened or endangered.
