Red List Download The revised Red List and Red Data Book Definition of the Red List and Red Data Book The Red List is a compilation of endangered wildlife species of Japan whereas the Red Data Book provides data on population status of the species included in the Red List. Both the Red List and Red Data Book show the risk of extinction based on the biologicaldata. They have no legal definition but serveas the scientific basis for the promotion of endangered wildlife conservation. Aim and details of the revised Red List and Red Data Book The first Red Data Book of animals, compiled in 1991 by the Environment Agency, needed a periodical revision as a result of changes in wildlife distribution and habitat. In addition, IUCN adopted a revised set of Red List Categories in 1994. Because of these two reasons, the Environment Agency has been revising, since 1995, the Red List and Red Data Book by setting up a group of specialists in mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and so on. The first Red Data Book of plants is also currently in the process of compilation by the Environment Agency.

The New York Times April 9, 1998 Page A-1 Plant Survey Reveals Many Species Threatened With Extinction By WILLIAM K. STEVENS At least one of every eight plant species in the world and nearly one of three in the United States is under threat of extinction, according to the first comprehensive worldwide assessment of plant endangerment. Plants in Trouble Imperiled Species Percent of Total Species United States Australia South Africa Turkey Mexico Brazil Panama India Spain Peru Cuba Ecuador Jamaica Colombia Japan Source: The World Conservation Union The assessment, which required more than 20 years of work by botanists and conservationists around the globe, added nearly 34,000 plant species to the World Conservation Union's growing Red List of imperiled organisms. The survey was made public Wednesday in Washington. Among the plants most at risk, the survey found, are 14 percent of rose species, 32 percent of lilies, 32 percent of irises, 14 percent of cherry species and 29 percent of palms. Coniferous trees as a group, and many species found in island nations, were also judged especially vulnerable. While endangered mammals and birds have commanded more public attention, it is plants, scientists say, that are more fundamental to nature's functioning. They undergird most of the rest of life, including human life, by converting sunlight into food. They provide the raw material for many medicines and the genetic stock from which agricultural strains of plants are developed. And they constitute the very warp and woof of the natural landscape, the framework within which everything else happens.

Endangered and Threatened Species of Butterflies and Moths Some butterflies and moths have become very rare, primarily because of people's activities and destruction of butterfly habitats.; some butterflies have become rare, threatened, endangered, and even extinct. The Xerces blue butterfly is the first butterfly in North America to become extinct due to human activity. There are currently 27 insects (including 16 Lepidoptera) listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as threatened or endangered in the United States, and they are protected under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act wherever they may be found. The butterfly and moth species are: COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME STATUS RANGE Bay checkerspot (butterfly) Euphydryas editha bayensis Threatened: Californi a El Segundo blue (butterfly) Euphilotes battoides allyni Endangered California Karner blue (butterfly) Lycaeides melissa samuelis Endangered northeastern North America Kern primrose sphinx moth Euproserpinus euterpe Threatened California Lange's metalmark (butterfly) Apodemia mormo langei Endangered California Lotis blue (butterfly) Lycaeides argyrognomon lotis Endangered California Mission blue (butterfly) Icaricia icarioides missionesis Endangered California Mitchell's satyr (butterfly) Neonympha mitchellii mitchellii Endangered Great Lakes region Myrtle's silverspot (butterfly) Speyeria zerene myrtleae Endangered California Oregon silverspot (butterfly) Speyeria zerene hippolyta Threatened Oregon Palos Verde blue (butterfly) Glaucopsyche lygdamus paloverdesensis

Home Birds Birds Gardens ... International Threatened and endangered species Threats Threatened birds in the UK Threatened birds in Europe Threatened birds worldwide ... And the declines continue..... Threatened and endangered species There are currently 9702 known species of birds living on Earth. Today the survival of many of these species is threatened for a variety of reasons, mostly man-made. Over the 530 million years of life on Earth, there have been five major extinctions of species, the last of which saw the demise of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Each of these were caused by a biological or physical change of global proportions. Currently, we are in the early stages of the sixth mass extinction. This time it is caused by the relentless and unchecked actions and expansion of mankind. According to some estimates, the current extinction rates already parallel those recorded during the dinosaur extinction. Birds vary naturally in their numbers depending on where they live and how high up the food chain they are. The probability of a bird going extinct by chance depends on its population size and range, with the average natural lifespan of a species being 4 million years. The most numerous bird in the world is the red-billed quelea, which numbers 1,500 million individuals and is found over extensive tracts of Africa. Species like this are very secure. At the other extreme are birds endemic to islands, where the whole population of perhaps a few hundred is restricted to one or two islands only. Such species are very vulnerable to any changes in their environment, and hence to sudden extinctions.

Bay Area is Home to More than 100 Species on the Federal Endangered and Threatened Species List Spotted a San Joaquin kit fox, California least tern, or Lange's metalmark butterfly while out and about in the Bay Area lately? Anyone who has is among a lucky few: all three Bay Area species are hovering on the brink of extinction. And they are not alone. The Bay Area's California clapper rail and salt marsh harvest mouse have also been almost completely wiped out. Species extinction has reached its highest rate since approximately 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs disappeared. In the Bay Area, the abundance of unique species is rivaled only by their precarious status. Findings * Based on June 2001 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report. Next

RIMS Unit "Endangered and Threatened Animal Species" Culminating Activity: Conducting Research About Two Endangered Species of Animals Unit Authors: Ann Conklin and Kaylene Thomas Collaborating Librarian: Phyllis Graves STATEMENT OF INFORMATION PROBLEM: Endangered and threatened species of animals and plants live in many of the United States and in countries around the world. Endangered animals and plants are dying out more quickly than in the past, and there are many reasons for this, including the behavior of humans and conditions in our modern society. Some animals and plants formerly inhabiting the earth are now extinct, and there are many questions about the role humans may have played in the extinction of these animals. TASK DEFINITION: Big6 #1: What do I need to do? Choose two endangered or threatened animals. On your own paper, answer the questions provided by your teacher about each animal. Find a picture of the endangered animal and the extinct animal you are studying, and draw a picture of the animal, label it, and include it with your report. Name the sources you used to find the information. On the back of your sheet, write a paragraph about how the animal became endangered and how humans can help to save the endangered animal you chose to study.

Species Survival Commission IUCN Home SSC Home The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species The IUCN Red List is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plants and animals. It uses a set of criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. There are nine Categories of Threat in the IUCN Red List system: Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Least Concern Data Deficient , and Not Evaluated . A species is listed as threatened if it falls in the Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable categories. The overall aim of the IUCN Red List is to convey the urgency and scale of conservation problems to the public and policy-makers, and to motivate the global community to try to reduce species extinctions. The 2000 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species , launched in September 2000, was a landmark for IUCN and the Species Survival Commission. This was the first time that animals and plants were combined in a single list and the first time that a Red List was produced on CD-ROM.

How you can help endangered species and the environment ... What can I do to help injured or orphaned wildlife? Approximately one-third of the animals at Rolling Hills Zoo are endangered in the wild. In fact, many of them, such as Amur leopards, Sumatran orangutans and Indian rhinos, have wild populations that are virtually on the verge of extinction. For a complete list of the RHZ animals and their status in the wild, check out the animal list Abbreviations/Terminology USFWS = The which is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service categorizes species as either "Endangered" or "Threatened". "Endangered" species are animals or plants that are in immediate danger of becoming extinct. "Threatened" species are animals or plants whose populations are declining and may become endangered. The USFWS also recognizes species as "species in need of conservation". IUCN = the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources is an international organization composed of over 170 government agencies and over 400 non-government organizations from all over the world. The IUCN produces the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals. The IUCN categorizes species as follows:

Activity: Countdown Calendar Extinction is the death of a species, the elimination of all the individuals of a particular kind. It is a natural and common event in the long history of biological evolution. Of the estimated five hundred million species of organisms that are believed to have ever existed on earth since life began, only about five to ten million are currently alive. This represents an extinction rate of 98-99%. Many organisms, however, have become extinct as a result of human activities. The most destructive of these is habitat degradation, as humans modify the environment for their own purposes. This has had disastrous results on the biodiversity of the planet, as species extinction is rapidly accelerating. Objectives: Focus on the impact of habitat loss on the biodiversity of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin and relate it to impact through modification of the environment in the Basin. Identify endangered/threatened/introduced species of plants and/or animals in the Lake Pontchartrain Basin. Identify the causes of the endangered or threatened status of those plants and/or animals.

What does it mean when rare species are found on my land? It means you have unique and valuable acreage. Native species that have been eliminated elsewhere still are finding a home on your land. This may have some legal ramifications for you, but it may also yield some benefits. Are there different categories of rare species? What is the difference between an endangered species and a threatened one? Endangered means that the species is in danger of becoming extinct. Threatened species are in slightly better shape, but still there is a chance they will soon become endangered . Furthermore, the state and the federal governments maintain separate lists of threatened and endangered species. fore more information, contact the appropriate agency listed at the end of this page.
