Regional IUCN Red Listing: the Process as Applied to Birds in the United Kingdom

Article Abstract:

The article evaluates the efficacy of guidelines created by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources for assessing a species' risk of extinction on a regional level. Using United Kingdom bird species as an illustration, it was found that the guidelines rely too heavily on subjective interpretation, especially regarding extralimital populations.
