IUCN_INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE
The IUCN is an international organization works :nature conservation and sustainable use of
natural resources. (data gathering analysis, research, field projects, advocacy, and education).
Headquarters: Gland, Switzerland
Founded: 5 October 1948, Fontainebleau, France
What IUCN do?
IUCN's Members, expert Commissions and Secretariat work together in a combined effort to
conserve nature and accelerate the transition to sustainable development.
ASIA IUCN
Asia is a land full of natural and cultural wonders. But the region faces critical challenges,
including poverty, water shortages and climate change. IUCN works with states and civil society
in the region to build solutions together.
The Regional Programme
encompasses various domains:
• Red listing of flora and
fauna
• Ecosystem restoration
• Climate change
• Sustainable development
Parameters:
• Nature based solutions
• Livelihood for Nature
• Governance and rights
• Species
• Coastland and marine
• Water & Wetlands
• Protected & Covered areas
• Forests and agricultre landscapes.
The IUCN Red List will be updated
with thousands of new species
assessments and reassessments on
21 July and 8 December in 2022.
This list contains the species which
are threatened to extinction as per
july 2022.
How the Red List is Used?
The IUCN Red List shows us where and what actions need to be taken to save the building blocks of nature from extinction. It provides a way to factor
biodiversity needs into decision-making processes by providing a wealth of useful information on species.
• Guiding scientific research
• Informing policy and conventions
• Influencing resource allocation
• Informing conservation planning
• Improving decision-making
FEATURED RESOURCES & PUBLICATIONS
The numbers of species listed in each Red List Category change each
time The IUCN Red List is updated. For each Red List update, IUCN
provides summaries of the numbers of species in each category, by
taxonomic group and by country.

IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (What To See?)
• The global extinction risk status of animal, fungus and plant species.
• Shows trends in overall extinction risk for species
• Nine Red List Categories:Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered,
Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Least Concern, Data Deficient and Not
Evaluated.
• Green Status of Species: Extinct in the Wild, Critically Depleted, Largely Depleted,
Moderately Depleted, Slightly Depleted, Fully Recovered, Non-Depleted and
Indeterminate.
The Red List Index
(RLI) of species
survival for
taxonomic groups
that have been
assessed for the
IUCN Red List at
least twice.The blue
line indicates the
overall RLI for
all the taxa
combined. A value of
1 is equivalent to all
species being
categorised as
Least Concern; a
value of zero is
equivalent to all
species being
classified as Extinct.
