The eastern chimpanzee is classified as “endangered” and of global conservation concern. This publication offers a 10-year plan which, if fully implemented, will go a long way to ensuring the maintenance of viable populations of the eastern chimpanzee across much of its existing range.…
This volume gives the most up-to-date information on the distributions and conservation status of species in all inland water ecosystems across mainland continental Africa and the reasons behind their declining status. This represents the most comprehensive assessment yet of freshwater…
This Red List publication summarizes results for Mediterranean terrestrial mammals, and provides the first overview of the conservation status of these species to follow Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level – in…
Wildlife in a Changing World presents an analysis of the 2008 Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Red List of Threatened Species. Beginning with an explanation of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Red List as a key conservation tool, it goes on to discuss the state of the worlds species and provides the latest information on the patterns of species…
