The IUCN Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world's biodiversity. Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting the natural resources we need to survive. It provides information about range, population size, habitat and ecology, use and/or trade, threats, and conservation actions that will help inform necessary conservation decisions. 1, record 4, English, - International%20Union%20for%20Conservation%20of%20Nature%26rsquo%3Bs%20Red%20List%20of%20Threatened%20Species
