List of Red Lists

This list is of Red Lists, Red Data Books, and related initiatives that assess and document the extinction risk of species, whether on an international or more local level (regional Red Lists). The IUCN has published a set of Guidelines for Application of the IUCN Red List Criteria at Regional and National Levels and at least 113 countries have produced their own Red Lists.^[1]^[2] Below, where a particular article or set of articles on a foreign-language Wikipedia provides fuller coverage, a link is provided.
