What are some of the limitations of the Red List in determining the state of species diversity?

1. Take some time to explore the IUCN’s Red List (http://www.iucnredlist.org/). You can specify search criteria byclicking on “ADVANCED” beside the search bar near the top of the webpage. You can search for species by taxonomy,location, habitat, threats, etc. The following page will appear:2. Choose TWO species (one from kingdom Animalia and one from kingdom Plantae) and find the following informationabout the species. Pick species for which you can find all of the information.• its scientific (must be italicized and first part capitalized) and common name• its current status (e.g. endangered, least concern, etc.) and what that status title means• its last assessment date• if it has changed status since on the list (and if so, what its previous status was) – if applicable• where in the world your species is found• the type of habitat it lives in• if the population is increasing/decreasing/stable• its major threats• any conservation effortsSummarize this information in a table and include as an appendix in your paper. Do NOT just copy the informationfrom the website. You must rephrase the information in your own words where possible. *Make sure to include areference, and use APA formatting when creating your table.3. Your three-page paper will reflect on the following questions:• After exploring the IUCN’s Red List website, what impression do you get about the state of species biodiversityglobally? Why? Base you answer on your exploration of the Red List site. Support your statements. Give anexample or two to help illustrate your points.• What are the implications of this state of species diversity (i.e. what does it mean for now and for the future?)?• What are some of the limitations of the Red List in determining the state of species diversity?• How might the Red List be used practically? Give a few examples.• How representative do you think the Red List is of the state of biodiversity globally (biodiversity as a whole)?Why? Justify your discussion. Your conclusion should be supported by appropriate sources and course material.
