What are red list?

The Red List, officially known as the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, is a comprehensive inventory that assesses the conservation status of species worldwide. It categorizes species based on their risk of extinction, using criteria such as population size, habitat loss, and ecological requirements. Categories range from "Least Concern" to "Critically Endangered" and "Extinct." The Red List serves as a critical tool for conservationists, policymakers, and researchers to prioritize efforts to protect biodiversity.
