APPENDIX II Conservation status evaluation for taxa with small geographic range sizes

Transcription

1 APPENDIX II Conservation evaluation for taxa with small geographic sizes Conservation evaluation is based on IUCN Red List categories and criteria, particularly criterion B: geographic size according to extent of occurrence (EOO) or area of occupancy (AOO), number of and evidence of decline due to threatening s and actions needed are listed for threatened (Vulnerable: VU), Near Threatened (NT) and Data Deficient (DD) taxa. Symbol ( ) denotes taxa endemic to the study region and therefore the evaluation is global; for non-endemic taxa, the assessment is at the regional level and applies to the relevant population(s) within the study region.
