کاوش در فهرست سرخ
هر حیوان این سایت با وضعیتش در فهرست سرخ — و از ۱٬۶۹۸ حیوان، آن ۲۹۶ حیوانی که IUCN هرگز ارزیابی نکرده است. حیوانی که ارزیابی نشده، لزوماً در امان نیست؛ فقط هنوز کسی سراغش نرفته است.
Both bars show shares of their own total, so the shapes compare even though one counts 98,259 animals and the other 1698. Of the world’s assessed animals, 20% are vulnerable, endangered or critical; of the assessed animals here, 23%.
Everyone already knows about the tiger
The famous endangered animals are famous partly because they are endangered. These six are in the same trouble or worse, and almost nobody reads about them. The number under each is how many people look it up on Wikipedia in a month — for comparison, the axolotl gets 134,426.
“Looked up” is how often people read about the animal on Wikipedia each month. The arrow shows which way the IUCN says the population is heading at its last assessment.
The 296 nobody has assessed yet
17% of the animals hereMost are simply waiting their turn; a few may be on the Red List under a name we couldn’t match to ours. Either way, no news isn’t good news.
