In 2001, The Red Book: The Extinction Crisis Face to Face was published as a dramatic tool to help communicate the issues surrounding extinction and conservation to broad audiences. Packed with stunning images, It has proved extremely popular, and half of the proceeds for every book sold are being put into the Sir Peter Scott Fund (grants for conservation projects of the SSC Specialist Groups).

World Conservation is IUCN's monthly publication. In 2001, Issue no. 3 was dedicated to The Red List. You can download the publication in English, French or Spanish from the IUCN bookstore.
