Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the following statement, which appears in the article doesn't stand on its own and isn't clear without further elaboration: "It has been suggested that the IUCN Red List and similar works are prone to misuse by governments and other groups that draw possibly inappropriate conclusions on the state of the environment or to effect exploitation of natural resources".
It seems to be suggesting that the IUCN Red List is used to enable environmental exploitation, but it doesn't present any argument to justify this counterintuitive assertion. I don't know much about best practices for editing Wikipedia, which is why I'm noting this here rather than editing it myself. I'd guess the claim should either be clarified, removed, or tagged as 'clarification needed'.

I notice that quite a lot species in wikipedia was "classified" as Least Concern in the Taxobox. But when you look it up to the IUCN website...large number of species are indeed NE (Not Evaluated). Classifying them as LC not only is wrong...but tragically misleading....a NE species may indeed threatened because no assessment has been done on it. Clearly NE does not mean LC. Someone should try to fix the problem of the taxobox...adding one more category NE. -- Hkchan123 ( talk) 22:00, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
I applied for a speedy delete of Red Book of Endangered Species and a redirect to here. I copied its info here. How widespread is use of Red Book instead of Red List?
The Red Book of Endangered Species is a collection potentially endangered species published by the World Conservation Union. Initially started in 1998 this project focuses on two primary goals:

You use the abbreviation IUCN heavily throughout this article, but don't expand it in the lead-in... -- Horus Kol Talk 02:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
IUCN's credibility critically endangered was published in a reliable source and is heavily referenced on the Internet. This controversy should be addressed in the article. jiHymas@himivest.com 216.191.217.90 18:06, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
There was a dead link (no page) in the see also section directing to "Crowned Solitary Eagle Conservancy". I wasn't able to find a page about conservation of that animal (and I don't see how it's relevant.) Previous to the bad link it went to African wild dogs, again, I don't see the relevance. I'm changing it to "List of Critically Endangered Species". Kea2 ( talk) 22:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
The article is showing the most recent "release" as 2008, but website and research appear that this is ongoing concern. However I couldn't find any specific mention on their site of a 2009 or 2010 "release". Are there still annual "release" of this publication? Cander0000 ( talk) 12:08, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
The "insects" part of the bar chart is unreadable - can we have a separate chart, with a more appropriate scale, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 15:34, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
It's been suggested that the article Red-listed should be merged/redirected to this one. I agree, but don't know how to do this. -- benjamil ( talk) 22:43, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Can you tell me what are the colours of the different categories. Names or RGB values.

I have come across the the following from Oxfordreference:
which is certainly clashing with the criteria provided herewhich says there are 9 of them actually. Anybody, any opinion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanjukta1995 ( talk • contribs) 15:07, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
The article mentions a version 4 of the Categories and Criteria for the IUCN Red List. The two references only go up to version 3.1 and I can find nothing online. The IUCN switched to more frequent publication, starting around 2012, using a year-n notation (e.g. version 2015-4) but were the criteria updated? Does the year-n notation refer to an update of the criteria as well or just the publication of an updated list? Most of the taxoboxes use version 3.1 for the status, even when using more recent assessments. Jts1882 | talk 09:59, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

I am a student in the introduction to applied ecology course that will be working on this article. I can't see to find a list of the criteria, that is referenced frequently throughout the article. Could it be beneficial to add a section listing the different criteria that the IUCN uses to determine the status of species? Cheers! Gabrielle.gagnon ( talk) 22:20, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
