The International Red List of Threatened Species conveys information about plant and animal species (2012-20).

The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources Red List of Threatened Species conveys information about plant and animal species on its website, and is regarded as ”the most comprehensive, objective global approach for evaluating the conservation status of plant and animal species.” (2012)

Life on Earth is disappearing fast and will continue to do so unless urgent action is taken. There are thousands of species on the IUCN Red List and some of them are threatened with extinction.
