| Red List of Bangladesh Volume 2: Mammals | |
| 2015 Full Book | |
At present a total of 127 species of mammals belong to 35 families under 9 orders are found in Bangladesh (Appendix-i). Information on population of different species of mammals is scanty. Most of the studies during the last four decades are focused on the status of mammals of Bangladesh depending on the presence or absence of certain taxa rather than estimating population (Khan 1982, 1987a, 1996, 2015). As a result, population trend enumeration is very difficult for most of the mammalian species in the country. The IUCN Red List is a comprehensive information source for extinction risk of species. In practice, it provides information and analyses on the status, trends and threats to species in order to inform and catalyse actions for biodiversity conservation. Although the IUCN Red List is not a legal document, it is widely respected and considered as a guiding document for policy advocacy and awareness raising aimed at facilitating the conservation of risk species. Red List is built upon current knowledge on population trends, ranges, and recent, current or projected threats. |
