The ICUN compiled the “Red List”, evaluating the global conservation status of species based on the threat level. [15] The list separates species into threat levels ranging from least concern to extinct, aiding in directing efforts to mitigate species decline [16] This assessment evaluated factors contributing to species extinction like population size, trends, distributions, and threats.
