The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is an inventory of the global conservation status and extinction risk of biological species. A series of Regional Red Lists, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit, are also produced by countries and organizations.
The macaques constitute a genus (Macaca) of gregarious Old World monkeys of the subfamily Cercopithecinae. The 23 species of macaques inhabit ranges throughout Asia, North Africa, and Europe. Macaques are principally frugivorous, although their diet also includes seeds, leaves, flowers, and tree bark. Some species such as the long-tailed macaque will supplement their diets with small amounts of meat from shellfish, insects, and small mammals. On average, a southern pig-tailed macaque in Malaysia eats about 70 large rats each year. All macaque social groups are arranged around dominant matriarchs.
The conservation status of a group of organisms indicates whether the group still exists and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats. Various systems of conservation status are in use at international, multi-country, national and local levels, as well as for consumer use such as sustainable seafood advisory lists and certification. The two international systems are by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
A genet is a member of the genus Genetta, which consists of 17 species of small African carnivorans. The common genet is the only genet present in Europe and occurs in the Iberian Peninsula, Italy and France.
A species that is extinct in the wild (EW) is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as only consisting of living members kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range. Classification requires exhaustive surveys conducted within the species' known habitat with consideration given to seasonality, time of day, and life cycle. Once a species is classified as EW, the only way for it to be downgraded is through reintroduction.
Talbotiella eketensis is a species of plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Nigeria. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Tectiphiala ferox, or palmiste bouglé, is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is endemic to Mauritius.
Dactyladenia cinerea is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Cameroon. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Dactyladenia dichotoma is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Nigeria. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Cassipourea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rhizophoraceae. There are about 40 species. The genus is divided into several subgenera, based mainly on the structure of the flowers.
Cassipourea eketensis is a species of plant in the Rhizophoraceae family. It is endemic to Nigeria and grows in tropical rainforest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Helicia is a genus of 110 species of trees and shrubs, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. They grow naturally in rainforests throughout tropical South and Southeast Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia to New Guinea and as far south as New South Wales.
Terminalia ivorensis is a species of tree in the family Combretaceae, and is known by the common names of Ivory Coast almond, idigbo, black afara, framire and emeri.
A vulnerable species is a species which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being threatened with extinction unless the circumstances that are threatening its survival and reproduction improve.
Dactyladenia hirsuta is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Ivory Coast and Ghana. Its natural habitats are wet evergreen forests. It is threatened by extensive logging of its habitat, the effects of mining and the establishment of commercial plantations.
Dactyladenia dinklagei is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Ivory Coast, Ghana and Liberia. Its natural habitats are wet evergreen forests. It is threatened by habitat loss due to mining activities, logging and commercial planting.
Dactyladenia johnstonei is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Cameroon. Its natural habitats are forested valley slopes, at altitudes of 950–1,600 m. It is threatened by habitat loss due to logging and clearance for agricultural land.
Dactyladenia mannii is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Endangered species, as classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), are species which have been categorized as very likely to become extinct in their known native ranges in the near future. On the IUCN Red List, endangered is the second-most severe conservation status for wild populations in the IUCN's schema after critically endangered. In 2012, the IUCN Red List featured 3,079 animal and 2,655 plant species as endangered worldwide. The figures for 1998 were 1,102 and 1,197 respectively.
