What is red book data? Why IUCN has prepared it.
The Red Data Book is a type of a public document, which is created for the recordings of rare and endangered species including animals, plants and fungi as well as some local subspecies, which are present within the region of the state or country. The red data book helps us in providing complete information for research, studies and also for monitoring the programs on rare and endangered species and their habits. This book is mainly created to protect those species, which are in danger of being extinct, lost, harmed or not able to continue their life cycle. These species can either be animals or birds or plants. There are enormous of species, which were extinct long before the life exists on the planet earth. The International Union for Conservation of Nature was founded with an aim to maintain the complete record of every species.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature – IUCN, which was established in the year 1964 maintains Red Data Book. IUCN is the world’s most wide inventory center of global conservation status of biological species. The Red Data Book contains the complete list of threatened species. The main aim behind this documentation is to provide complete information for research and analysis of different existence species. It is from the Russian Federation, hence also called as Russian Red Data Book.
The Red Data Book contains colour‐coded information sheets, which are arranged according to the species dangerous. The black coloured sheet for species which are extinct, red coloured
sheet for species that are more dangerous, amber coloured for the those species, which is getting attacked by other species, white coloured for very rare species, green coloured for non-dangerous species and grey coloured for the species that are indicated to be endangered, vulnerable, or rare The main groups of categories are extinct, dangerous, unknown and non-dangerous. Apart from the species dangerous, this book also has information about the reason for the species to become extinct along with the population trends and range.
Advantage of the red data book.
- It helps in identifying all animals, birds and other species, about their extinct and endangered.
- It is used to evaluate the total wild animals population present.
- The data available in this book can be used to evaluate the taxa at the global level.
- The main benefit of this book is to evaluate the risk of taxa becoming globally extinct
- This book maintain the complete record of all endangered animals, plants and other species.
Disadvantage of the red data book.
- The information available in the red data book is incomplete. Many species both extinct and present are not updated in this book.
- The criteria is applied here is only within the territory of the state.
- This book maintain the complete record of all animals, plants, other species but it has no information about the microorganisms
