Leading global species conservation science

������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� leads in the production of conservation tools to monitor the status of the natural world and measure progress towards achieving global goals.

Assessing biodiversity

is the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global extinction risk status of animal, fungus and plant species.��The shows trends in overall extinction risk for species groups.

��

The is the ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� global standard for measuring the severity of environmental impacts caused by animals, fungi and plants living outside their natural range. The����is managed by the ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� Species Survival Commission Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) and the����is an ISSG led initiative.

Science underpinning conservation planning and action

As part of the ��Partnership, ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� supports the vision of the KBA Programme to identify, document, manage, resource and safeguard a comprehensive network of sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity.

Based on ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� Red List data, the ��estimates the contribution that investments can make to reducing species’ extinction risk.

The brings together ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ��’s established metrics, including STAR and the , to calculate the proportion of global goals that conservation work could deliver in a given place.

Science-based policy engagement

������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� provides scientific information and technical advice to support the development of international, regional and national conservation policy, including the����(CBD),����and��.

The ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� Red List provides indicators for the United Nations��, particularly����and��.��

The ��offers support to assist governments and other stakeholders to take all the actions needed to meet global goals to prevent extinctions and improve the status of wild species.

The�� movement aims to unit tools and partnerships to support countries in delivering CBD targets.

Local to global expertise

������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ��’s Members, Commissions and Secretariat from all over the world work together on species conservation science.

The active participation of ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� Members and Commissions supports the production of conservation tools hosted by the Secretariat. For example, the ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� Red List is made possible through the , and the�� is open to all ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� constituents to submit their work. ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� co-hosts the KBA Secretariat with Birdlife International, and is one of 13 organisations in the KBA Partnership.

The is a science-based network of more than 10,500 volunteer experts, who provide specialist knowledge of animal, fungus and plant species.

The Secretariat’s Science and Data Centre includes the Science and the Biodiversity Assessment and Knowledge teams, with experts on the ������ϲʿ�������ֳ�ֱ�� Red List, freshwater biodiversity, invasive alien species and key biodiversity areas.
