The IUCN Red List is a comprehensive inventory that assesses the conservation status of various species worldwide. Managed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), it categorizes species based on their risk of extinction, ranging from "Least Concern" to "Critically Endangered." This list helps inform conservation efforts and policy decisions. The Red List includes data on plants, animals, and fungi, providing crucial information about biodiversity. It serves as a global standard for assessing the health of ecosystems and highlights the urgent need for conservation actions to protect threatened species and their habitats.
