1 de mar. de 2023 · Foster the conservation of terrestrial and freshwater invertebrates and their habitats around the world. We assess their conservation status, raise awareness and engage in practical conservation of these most species-rich taxonomic groups on Earth.
The mission of the Invertebrate Conservation Committee (ICC) is to foster the conservation of terrestrial and freshwa-ter invertebrates and their habitats around the world. We assess their conservation status, raise awareness and engage in practical conservation of these most spe-cies rich taxonomic groups on Earth.

Our goal is to assess at least 160,000 species. Achieving this will further improve the ability of The IUCN Red List to provide the most up-to-date information on the health of the world’s biodiversity, and thereby guide critical conservation actions. To reach 160,000 species, we need to do two things: 1. Increase the number of experts trained to c...
Currently, the IUCN Biodiversity Assessment and Knowledge Team is managing data for over 157,100 species, and this number is set to increase substantially in the next few years. More than 150,200 species are well documented, with supporting information on ecology, population size, threats, conservation actions and utilization. There are also over 1...
There are some important limitations to the current dataset that need to be fully understood before any analysis based on Red List data can be undertaken. The species groups covered so far are biased towards terrestrial, and in particular forest ecosystems. Among the better-documented species, there is also a strong bias towards animals, rather tha...
Currently, the main gaps in coverage that IUCN and the Red List Partners are working on are plants, invertebrates, fungi, and freshwater and marine species. To guide this work, the IUCN Red List Committee has agreed and adopted a Strategic Plan for the Red List for the period 2021–2030. Target 7 of the Strategic Plan addresses the taxonomic and geo...
Plants– The IUCN Red List includes over 66,500 plant species, representing around 16% of the world's known plants. IUCN continues to pursue a range of assessment projects, including engaging with national Red List efforts. Examples include: 1. The Plants for Peopleinitiative focuses on assessing priority plant species in each of the following group...
