Wildlife in a changing world - An analysis of the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
2009  Full Book

In this volume, you will find the most up-to-date information on the patterns of species facing extinction in some of the most important ecosystems in the world and the reasons behind their declining status. For managers this information will assist in designing and delivering targeted action to mitigate these threats. From a policy perspective, the Red List offers a progressively more valuable tool. Increasingly it provides the fundamental information needed to deliver indicators for tracking: progress against national obligations under the Convention on Biological diversity; the conservation status of those species in international trade under Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species; the extent and magnitude of climate change impacts for reporting through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change or towards refining our knowledge of migratory species apropos the Convention on Migratory Species.
