How the IUCN Red List Classifies Extinction Risk
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The IUCN Red List orders extinction risk from least concern through critically endangered and extinct, intermediate categories included, using size, trend, and range.
Show
A species with a small, declining population and shrinking range classifies well up the ordering.
Watch for
Assuming every criterion must be met is the error — meeting one threshold alone suffices.
