Question

Animals are vanishing at hundreds of times the normal rate, primarily because of shrinking habitats. Their biggest threat: humans. Since 1964, when the IUCN established a “red list” of threatened species and began compiling data gathered worldwide, the list has become the pre-eminent global database of endangered life and an essential tool for conservation policy. Yet the IUCN has been able to assess only about 106,000 species of the more than 1.5 million species of animals and more than 300,000 plants that scientists have described and named—which they estimate is less than a quarter of what‟s really out there. A recent inter governmental report on the biodiversity crisis estimated that extinction threatens up to a million animal and plant species, known and unknown. The IUCN hopes to raise the number of species assessments to 160,000 by 2020. Next up on its agenda: a “green list” of conservation successes. It will be much shorter than the red one.
