At the IV World Conservation Congress in 2008, the process began to develop and implement comparable global standards for ecosystems. A working group established by the IUCN has begun formulating a system of quantitative categories and criteria, analogous to those used for species, for assigning levels of threat to ecosystems at local, regional, and global levels. A final system will require definitions of ecosystems; quantification of ecosystem status; identification of the stages of degradation and loss of ecosystems; proxy measures of risk (criteria); classification thresholds for these criteria; and standardized methods for performing assessments. The system will need to reflect the degree and rate of change in an ecosystem’s extent, composition, structure, and function, and have its conceptual roots in ecological theory and empirical research. On the basis of these requirements and the hypothesis that ecosystem risk is a function of the risk of its component species, we propose a set of four criteria: recent declines in distribution or ecological function, historical total loss in distribution or ecological function, small distribution combined with decline, or very small distribution.

Establecimiento de Criterios para la Lista Roja de UICN de Ecosistemas Amenazados Resumen: El potencial para la conservacion´ de muchas especies ha avanzado enormemente porque la Union´ Internacional para la Conservacion´ de la Naturaleza (UICN) ha desarrollado criterios objetivos, repetibles y transparentes para evaluar el riesgo de extincion´ que expl´ıcitamente separa la evaluacion´ de riesgo de la definicion´ de prioridades. En el IV Congreso Mundial de Conservacion´ en 2008, el proceso comenzo´ a desarrollar e implementar estandares´ globales comparables para ecosistemas. Un grupo de tra- bajo establecido por la UICN ha formulado un sistema inicial de categor´ıas y criterios cuantitativos, analogos´ a los utilizados para especies, para asignar niveles de amenaza a ecosistemas a niveles local, regional y global. Un sistema final requerira´ de definiciones de ecosistemas; cuantificacion´ del estatus de ecosistemas; identifi- cacion´ de las etapas de degradacion´ y p´erdida de los ecosistemas; medidas de riesgo (criterios) alternativas; umbrales de clasificacion´ para esos criterios y m´etodos estandarizados para la realizacion´ de evaluaciones. El sistema debera´ reflejar el nivel y tasa de cambio en la extension,´ composicion,´ estructura y funcionamiento de un ecosistema, y tener sus ra´ıces conceptuales en la teor´ıa ecologica´ y la investigacion´ emp´ırica. Sobre la base de esos requerimientos y la hipotesis´ de que el riesgo del ecosistema es una funciondelriesgodelas´ especies que lo componen, proponemos un conjunto de 4 criterios: declinaciones recientes en la distribucion´ o funcionamiento ecologica,´ p´erdida total historica´ en la distribucion´ o funcionamiento ecologico,´ distribucion´ pequena˜ combinada con declinacion,´ o distribucion´ muy pequena.˜ La mayor parte del trabajo se ha concen- trado en ecosistemas terrestres, pero tambi´en se requieren umbrales y criterios comparables para ecosistemas dulceacu´ıcolas y marinos. Estos son los primeros pasos de un proceso de consulta internacional que llevara´ a una propuesta unificada que sera´ presentada en el proximo´ Congreso Mundial de Conservacion´ en 2012.

  • IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ to Identify the Level of Threat to Plants
    Ex-Situ Conservation at Scott Arboretum Public gardens and arboreta are more than just pretty places. They serve as an insurance policy for the future through their well managed ex situ collections. Ex situ conservation focuses on safeguarding species by keeping them in places such as seed banks or living collections. In situ means "on site", so in situ conservation is the conservation of species diversity within normal and natural habitats and ecosystems. The Scott Arboretum is a member of Botanical Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), which works with botanic gardens around the world and other conservation partners to secure plant diversity for the benefit of people and the planet. The aim of BGCI is to ensure that threatened species are secure in botanic garden collections as an insurance policy against loss in the wild. Their work encompasses supporting botanic garden development where this is needed and addressing capacity building needs. They support ex situ conservation for priority species, with a focus on linking ex situ conservation with species conservation in natural habitats and they work with botanic gardens on the development and implementation of habitat restoration and education projects. BGCI uses the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ to identify the level of threat to plants. In-depth analyses of the data contained in the IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, Red List are published periodically (usually at least once every four years). The results from the analysis of the data contained in the 2008 update of the IUCN Red List are published in The 2008 Review of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species; see www.iucn.org/redlist for further details.

An assessment of the exposure of FTSE sectors to biodiversity risk September 2004 This report was originally published by ISIS Asset Management which merged with F&C Management Ltd to create F&C Asset Management plc in October 2004 ISIS Asset Management ISIS Asset Management is a UK-based asset manager with £62.6 billion of funds under management (as at 31-08-04). As an investor, we believe that companies that manage their social, environmental and ethical risks effectively are protecting shareholder value. ISIS regularly publishes research studies with a view to encouraging more socially responsible behaviour by companies, as we believe that active participation in such debates by investors can help lead to better risk management by companies. This report forms part of ISIS’s on-going Biodiversity Programme. With effect from October 2004, ISIS will merge with F&C Management Ltd to create the UK’s fourth largest fund manager. The combined company will operate under the name F&C Asset Management Plc.

  • IUCN Red List
    IUCN Red List The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or The IUCN Red List of Red Data List), founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of Threatened Species the global conservation status of 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 Lists 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. According to IUCN (1996), the formally stated goals of the Red List are (1) to provide scientifically based information on the status of Headquarters United Kingdom species and subspecies at a global level, (2) to draw attention to the magnitude and Region International importance of threatened biodiversity, (3) to influence national and international served policy and decision-making, and (4) to provide information to guide actions to Official English conserve biological diversity.[1] language Parent International Union Major species assessors include BirdLife International, the Institute of Zoology (the organization for Conservation of research division of the Zoological Society of London), the World Conservation Nature Monitoring Centre, and many Specialist Groups within the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC).
