The following are a selection of graphics from the 2004 IUCN Red List and Global Species Assessment.

Percentages of mammal, bird and amphibian species in each Red List Category.

The pie charts exclude the categories Extinct, Extinct in the Wild and Not Evaluated.

Figure 4.9		Click here

The Red List Index (RLI) for all bird species for 1998-2004 and a preliminary RLI for all amphibians for 1980-2004 (retrospective assessment).

Sample sizes: birds: 250 genuine status changes out of 2,469 species in categories Extinct in the Wild (EW) to Near Threatened (NT) in at least one assessment; amphibians: 496 out of 2,225 species. Error bars for 2004 RLI value for birds based on estimated number of genuine status changes for 2000-2004 not yet detected owing to information time-lags (see Appendix 2d of the Global Species Assessment for further details of methods).

Threatened species richness maps for four taxonomic groups.

Clockwise from top left: mammals (marine species excluded); birds; amphibians; and turtles (at a half-degree resolution). Dark red colours correspond to higher richness, dark blue to lowest. Colour scale based on 10 equal-area classes. Maximum richness equals 25 species for mammals, 25 species for birds, 16 species of turtles, and 44 species for amphibians.
