"Коркунучка Кабылган Жаныбарлардын Кызыл Тизмеси" (англ. IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals)- Жаратылышты Коргоо Эл Аралык Уюму тарабынан 1963 ж. түзүлгөн. "ЖКЭАУнун Кызыл тизмеси" деген ат менен дагы белгилүү.   
----
The '''IUCN Red List of Threatened Species''' (also known as the '''IUCN Red List''' or '''Red Data List'''), founded in 1963, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global [[Conservation movement|conservation]] status of [[species|biological species]]. The [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN) is the world's main authority on the conservation status of species. A series of [[Regional Red List]]s are produced by countries or organizations, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit.

The IUCN Red List is set upon precise criteria to evaluate the [[extinction]] risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. The aim is to convey the urgency of conservation issues to the public and policy makers, as well as help the international community to try to reduce species extinction.

Major species assessors include [[BirdLife International]], the [[Institute of Zoology]] (the research division of the [[Zoological Society of London]]), the [[World Conservation Monitoring Centre]], and many Specialist Groups within the [[IUCN Species Survival Commission]] (SSC). Collectively, assessments by these organizations and groups account for nearly half the species on the Red List.

The IUCN aims to have the category of every species re-evaluated every five years if possible, or at least every ten years. This is done in a [[peer review]]ed manner through IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Specialist Groups, which are Red List Authorities responsible for a species, group of species or specific geographic area, or in the case of [[BirdLife International]], an entire class ([[Bird|Aves]]).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/about/red-list-overview#redlist_authorities |title=Red List Overview |work=IUCN Red List |publisher=[[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] |accessdate=20 June 2012}}</ref>

== 1997 Red List of Threatened Plants ==

The 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants used the older pre-criteria Red List assessment system. Plants listed may not, therefore, appear in the current Red List. IUCN advise that is best to check both the online Red List and the 1997 plants Red List publication.<ref name="IUCN-FAQ">{{cite web |url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/info/faq#Why_not_all_species_on_RL_|title=Frequently Asked Questions |publisher=IUCN |accessdate=11 October 2011}}</ref>

==2006 release==

The 2006 Red List, released on 4 May 2006 evaluated 40,168 species as a whole, plus an additional 2,160 [[Subspecies (biology)|subspecies]], [[Variety (biology)|varieties]], aquatic [[Fish stock|stocks]], and [[subpopulation]]s.

From the species evaluated as a whole, 16,118 were considered [[#Categories|threatened]]. Of these, 7,725 were animals, 8,390 were plants, and three were [[lichen]] and [[mushroom]]s.

This release listed 784 species extinctions recorded since 1500 [[Common Era|CE]], unchanged from the 2004 release. This was an increase of 18 from the 766 listed as of 2000.{{Citation needed|date=February 2008}} Each year a small number of "extinct" species may be rediscovered, becoming [[Lazarus species]], or may be reclassified as "data deficient". In 2002, the extinction list dropped to 759 species, but has been rising ever since.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/misc/wikipedia.html |title=Data figures for Wikipedia citations |accessdate=28 February 2008 |work=IUCN Red List website}}{{Dead link|date=September 2010|09|date=September 2010}}</ref>

==2007 release==
On 12 September 2007, the [[World Conservation Union]] (IUCN) released the '''2007 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species'''. In this release, they have raised their classification of both the [[Western Lowland Gorilla]] (''Gorilla gorilla gorilla'') and the [[Cross River Gorilla]] (''Gorilla gorilla diehli'') from [[Endangered]] to [[Critically Endangered]], which is the last category before [[Extinct in the Wild]], due to [[Ebola virus]] and [[poaching]], along with other factors. Russ Mittermeier, chief of [[Swiss]]-based IUCN's Primate Specialist Group, stated that 16,306 species are endangered with extinction, 188 more than in 2006 (total of 41,415 species on the Red List). The Red List includes the [[Sumatran Orangutan]] (''Pongo abelii'') in the Critically Endangered category and the [[Bornean Orangutan]] (''Pongo pygmaeus'') in the Endangered category.<ref>[http://www.iucn.org/media/materials/releases/?81/Extinction-crisis-escalates-Red-List-shows-apes-corals-vultures-dolphins-all-in-danger IUCN.org news release, Extinction crisis escalates: Red List shows apes, corals, vultures, dolphins all in danger]</ref>

==2008 release==
The 2008 Red List was released on 6 October 2008, at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in [[Barcelona]], and "has confirmed an extinction crisis, with almost one in four [mammals] at risk of disappearing forever". The study shows at least 1,141 of the 5,487 mammals on Earth are known to be threatened with extinction, and 836 are listed as [[Data Deficient]].<ref>[http://www.iucn.org/about/work/programmes/species/red_list/index.cfm?uNewsID=1695 IUCN Red List reveals world’s mammals in crisis]</ref>

==2012 Red List Release==
The Red list of 2012 is out on 19 July 2012 at Rio +20 Earth Summit. Nearly 2000 species added, 4 species extinct, 2 rediscovered. 
The IUCN assessed a total of 63,837 species which revealed 19,817 are threatened with extinction.
With 3,947 described as "critically endangered" and 5,766 as "endangered," while more than 10,000 species are listed as "vulnerable.
At threat are 41 per cent of amphibian species, 33 per cent of reef-building corals, 25 per cent of mammals, 13% of birds, and 30% of conifers.

Summary of 2006 IUCN Red List categories.
</div>

Species are classified in nine groups, set through criteria such as rate of decline, population size, area of geographic distribution, and degree of population and distribution fragmentation.

*[[Extinction|Extinct]] (EX) – No known individuals remaining.
*[[Extinct in the Wild]] (EW) – Known only to survive in captivity, or as a naturalized population outside its historic range.
*[[Critically endangered species|Critically Endangered]] (CR) – Extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
*[[Endangered species|Endangered]] (EN) – High risk of extinction in the wild.
*[[Vulnerable species|Vulnerable]] (VU) – High risk of endangerment in the wild.
*[[Near Threatened]] (NT) – Likely to become endangered in the near future.
*[[Least Concern]] (LC) – Lowest risk. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
*[[Data Deficient]] (DD) – Not enough data to make an assessment of its risk of extinction.
*[[Not Evaluated]] (NE) – Has not yet been evaluated against the criteria.<ref>[http://www.iucn.org/about/work/programmes/species/our_work/the_iucn_red_list/ IUCN About the IUCN Red List]</ref>

When discussing the IUCN Red List, the official term "[[Threatened species|threatened]]" is a grouping of three categories: Critically Endangered, Endangered, and Vulnerable.

===1994 categories and criteria===
[[Image:Status iucn2.3.svg|thumb|alt=Icons for Red List categories|1994 IUCN Red List categories (version 2.3), used for species which have not been reassessed since 2001.]]
The older 1994 has only a single "Lower Risk" category which contained three subcategories:

*[[Conservation Dependent]] (LR/cd)
*[[Near Threatened]] (LR/nt)
*[[Least Concern]] (LR/lc)

In the 2001 system, Near Threatened and Least Concern have now become their own categories, while Conservation Dependent is no longer used and has been merged into Near Threatened.

===Possibly Extinct===
The tag of Possibly Extinct (PE)<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.birdlife.org/news/news/2006/06/possibly_extinct_paper.pdf|title=Going or gone: defining 'Possibly Extinct' species to give a truer picture of recent extinctions|author=S. H. M. Butchart, et al.|format=pdf|work=Bull. B.O.C. 2006 126A}}</ref> is used by [[Birdlife International]], the Red List Authority for birds for the IUCN Red List.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.birdlife.org/action/science/species/global_species_programme/red_list.html|title=Birds on the IUCN Red List|accessdate=26 January 2007|work=BirdLife International}}</ref> BirdLife International has recommended PE become an official tag for Critically Endangered species, and this has now been adopted, along with a "Possibly Extinct in the Wild" tag for species with populations surviving in captivity but likely to be extinct in the wild (e.g. [[Spix's Macaw]]).

==Criticism==
The IUCN Red List has come under criticism on the grounds of [[secrecy]] (or at least poor documentation) surrounding the sources of data.<ref>{{Cite journal| author = N. Mrosovsky| title = IUCN's credibility critically endangered| journal = Nature| volume = 389| issue = 6650| pages = 436| year = 1997| url = http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v389/n6650/abs/389436a0.html| doi = 10.1038/38873}}</ref>

These allegations have led to efforts by the IUCN to improve its documentation and data quality, and to include peer reviews of taxa on the Red List. The list is also open to petitions against its classifications, on the basis of documentation or criteria.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/info/info_sources_quality|title=Information sources and quality |accessdate=19 September 2008 |work=IUCN Red List website |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20080411214318/http://www.iucnredlist.org/info/info_sources_quality |archivedate=11 April 2008}}</ref> A ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]'' editorial defended the Red List's relevance in October 2008.<ref name="Editors of Nature">{{Cite journal |journal=Nature |volume=455 |pages=707–708 |date=9 October 2008 |title=The Red List still matters |doi=10.1038/455707b |url=http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v455/n7214/full/455707b.html}}</ref> 

It has been suggested that the IUCN Red List and similar works are prone to misuse by governments and other groups that draw possibly inappropriate conclusions on the state of the environment or to effect exploitation of natural resources.<ref>{{Cite journal| author = Hugh P. Possingham et al.| title = Limits to the use of threatened species lists| journal = Trends in Ecology & Evolution| volume = 17|issue=11| pages = 503–507|month=November| year = 2002| doi = 10.1016/S0169-5347(02)02614-9}}</ref>
