CITES is a multilateral treaty to protect endangered plants and animals from the threats of international trade

A membership Union of government and civil society organisations.  The core of its work is data gathering and analysis, research, field projects, advocacy, and education

The world's most comprehensive source on the health of the world's biodiversity.  The red list provides an extinction risk status of animal, fungus and plant species

The list includes seven categories that tell us how close a species is to extinction. Species are assessed against five criteria (population reduction, geographical range, small population size and decline, very restricted population, extinction possibility). Standards set within the criteria determine which category a species belongs.

There are nine categories as follows: Not Evaluated (NE), Data Deficient (DD), Least Concern (LC), Near Threatened, (NT), Vulnerable (V), Endangered (E), Critically Endangered (CE), Extinct in the Wild (EW) and Extinct (EX)
