IUCN Red List (More than 44,000 species threatened with extinction)

Following on from our Facebook post about Folly Farm now caring and hopefully successfully breeding a pair of cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus), please take the time to learn about the important work of the IUCN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of Threatened Species. They provide a comprehensive list of thousands of species to include their population, habitat, trade use, threats and conservation actions. All of this information is used by governments, wildlife departments, educators, business and more to help try and reverse the decline in different species.

The IUCN Red List is crucial in ensuring we maintain biodiversity on our planet.
