Talk:IUCN Red List
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I applied for a speedy delete of Red Book of Endangered Species and a redirect to here. I copied its info here. How widespread is use of Red Book instead of Red List?
The Red Book of Endangered Species is a collection potentially endangered species published by the World Conservation Union. Initially started in 1998 this project focuses on two primary goals:
- To identify and document those species most in need of conservation attention if global extinction rates are to be reduced
- To provide a global index of the state of degeneration of biodiversity.

- There is no longer a physical book, only the online version. But it is of historical importance. —Pengo 00:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
