This update completes a revision of all African primate assessments, concluding that over half of all primate species in the rest of Africa are under threat.

Who uses the Red List? The IUCN Red List is used by institutional, business and community users such as: national and international government agencies wildlife departments conservation-related non-governmental organisations NGOs natural resource planners educational organisations zoos and aquariums students media the business community. How is the Red List used? Table 8 is similar to the country tables Tables 5 and 6 , but focus on endemic species only i.

This table only presents figures for the more comprehensively assessed species groups i. Note that the Advanced Search page includes a filter for endemic species, which should be used in combination with the land regions filters to see lists of endemic species for all taxonomic groups.

Table 8 should be used to check, for example the total number of endemic mammals and number of threatened endemic mammals within a specific country. The tags 'Possibly Extinct' and 'Possibly Extinct in the Wild' have therefore been developed to identify Critically Endangered species that are likely to already be extinct or extinct in the wild , but for which confirmation is required. To get the list of species only i. Please enter your e-mail address and password below.

The number of species listed in each IUCN Red List Category changes over time because: species are constantly being assessed and added to The IUCN Red List for the first time; other species are being reassessed resulting in some moving into different Red List Categories; and taxonomic revisions result in the total number of recognised species within a group changing.

A dynamic Red List: reasons for changing status In order to monitor the changing status of biodiversity, it is essential to reassess species periodically.

This reassessment may result in species moving into a different Red List Category for non-genuine or genuine reasons: Non-genuine reasons New information has become available since the last assessment e. There has been a taxonomic revision resulting in the species no longer being the same concept as it was before e.

An error has been discovered in the previous assessment e. The previous assessment used an older version of the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria and the reassessment uses the current criteria which have slightly different thresholds. Genuine reasons The main threats are no longer present, or conservation measures e. The main threats have continued unabated, have increased, or new threats have developed causing the status of the species to deteriorate enough to move it into a higher category of threat.

An expanding Red List: knowledge gaps and fully assessed groups In addition to species changing status, The IUCN Red List grows larger with each update as newly described species and species from the less well-known groups are assessed for the first time Figure 1. How many species are threatened? Reporting the proportion of threatened species on The IUCN Red List is complicated because: not all species groups have been fully evaluated, and some species have so little information available that they can only be assessed as Data Deficient DD.
