IUCN Red List Summary of Assessed Species for Marshall Islands 2021

List of species and their conservation status for 1,746 species reviewed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.   Data were derived from https://www.iucnredlist.org/.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is essentially a checklist of taxa that have undergone an extinction risk assessment using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. The majority of assessments appearing on The IUCN Red List are carried out by members of the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC), appointed Red List Authorities (RLAs), Red List Partners, or specialists working on IUCN-led assessment projects. However, assessments can really be carried out by anyone who has sufficient knowledge of a species and submitted to IUCN for consideration.

The IUCN Red List accepts global-level assessments for species.

Regional assessments that have been carried out as part of an IUCN regional assessment project are also included on the Red List website. See the Regional Red List Assessments page for more information on these assessments. Non-IUCN led regional assessments and national Red List assessments will not be considered for inclusion on The IUCN Red List, unless these are also global assessments (e.g., single-country endemics). For more information about using the IUCN Categories and Criteria at regional levels, please see the Guidelines for Application of IUCN Red List Criteria at Regional and National Levels, the National Red List website, and the online Red List Training course.

Assessments for subspecies, subpopulations, and (for plants) varieties can also be accepted for The IUCN Red List, provided the species-level assessment has also been carried out. For more information on taxonomic level and scope of Red List assessments, see the Guidelines for Using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. 

All assessments must follow the current versions of the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (available in English, Français, Español) and the Guidelines for Using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.
