According to IUCN, the Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world¡¯s biodiversity. In fact, it is far more than a list of species and their status, but rather a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources that human beings need to survive. | |
