Photograph of three IUCN Red List animal species
The IUCN Red list of Threatened Species is a comprehensive approach for evaluating determining the conservation status of risks of extinction of animal and plant species. The IUCN is continually expanding its data on both threatened and non-threatened species with its goal to have a comprehensive list with details on ecology, population sizes, and population distribution.
When completing the EO 12114 checklist, it is important to ensure that any actions do not impact a threatened species. To check for endangered species by country, go to the IUCN Red List website at www.iucnredlist.org/search and in the advanced search options expand locations until you find your desired region.
