The latest edition of "IUCN Red List of Endangered Species" released

A few days ago, at the 2016 World Conservation Conference of the World Conservation Union in Hawaii, the latest version of the "World Conservation Union Red List of Endangered Species" was released

The Red List of Endangered Species is a list that measures the survival and threat status of global species developed by the World Conservation Union (IUCN).

The effectiveness of a series of protection work of the Chinese government has been actively recognized

Also due to successful conservation actions, the endangered level of Tibetan antelope has been reduced from "endangered" to "near endangered"

Other successful protection cases include the unique Australian nebula ("vulnerable" reduced to "near endangered"), kangaroo ("endangered" reduced to "vulnerable") and so on

Regrettably, due to illegal hunting, the world’s largest surviving primate, the eastern gorilla, has been listed as a "critically endangered" species

The IUCN Species Survival Committee and nine other partner institutions also jointly announced an ambitious plan to invest more than US$10 million in the next five years to double the number of species assessed by the IUCN Red List by 2020
