What is red list?

The Red List, maintained by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is a comprehensive inventory that assesses the global conservation status of various species. It categorizes species based on their risk of extinction, ranging from "Least Concern" to "Critically Endangered." The Red List serves as a critical tool for conservation efforts, helping prioritize actions and raise awareness about biodiversity loss. It encompasses a wide range of organisms, including animals, plants, and fungi.
