Which organization publishes the widely known Red List of Threatened Species?
Correct!
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the world's most comprehensive information source on the global extinction risk of animal, plant, and fungal species. It assesses species using categories including least concern, vulnerable, endangered, critically endangered, and extinct. The Red List is produced by the IUCN and its Species Survival Commission together with many scientific partner organizations. It provides governments, researchers, and conservation organizations with an important basis for protection measures.
The Red List brings together scientific assessments of species' extinction risk.
