  1. Building Capacity and Support to Strengthen the National Red List Network Rebecca Miller IUCN Red List Unit Cambridge, UK

  2. Why is there a need for capacity building and support? • How to develop national and regional capacity to use the IUCN Red List methodology? • How to support National Red List development?

  3. Broadening the coverage in National Red Lists Zamin et al. 2010; Conservation Biology 24:1010-1020 At least 109 countries have produced red lists for at least one taxonomic group, 70 of them carried out in the last 10 years (solid color).

  4. Disparities between NRLs and IUCN Red List Rodríguez et al. 2000; Nature 403:241

  5. Towards a global standard in assessment criteria • Wide variety in assessment criteria used in different countries: • Complicates assessment comparison, interpretation of lists from different countries • Standardization would allow for coordinated strategies for data collection and biodiversity conservation across regions de Grammont and Cuarón 2006; Cons. Biol. 20: 14

  6. Embedding the Red List Index (RLI) in National Reporting An indicator for monitoring biodiversity trends towards the CBD Aichi targets and reporting on NBSAPs Gärdenfors, U. (ed.) 2010. The 2010 Red List of Swedish Species

  7. NRL Development: Issues to Consider • Funding • Coordination and Partners • Roles and Responsibilities • Assessment Process • Logistics • Data • Technical Support • Contact with existing experts and projects • Communication • Policy uptake, political/legal implications

  8. Why is there a need for capacity building and support? • How to develop national and regional capacity to use the IUCN Red List methodology? • How to support National Red List development?

  9. IUCN Red List Training Webpage • Secure rigor and consistency in the application process www.iucnredlist.org/technical-documents/red-list-training

  10. IUCN Red List Training Workshops Locations of IUCN Red List training workshops (Sept. 2010 – present) Training should be tied into a NRL assessment process that is currently underway

  13. Why is there a need for capacity building and support? • How to develop national and regional capacity to use the IUCN Red List methodology? • How to support National Red List development?

  14. How to Support NRL Development? • Build capacity to use the regional IUCN Red List methodology • Improve communication (1) between National Red Lists, and (2) between National Red Lists and the IUCN Red List • Share successful strategies (logistics, funding) and best practice • Facilitate data sharing • Build regional Red List networks • Session 1181: Compiling an IUCN Red List for Latin America (10 Sept., 11:00-12:00, Species Pavilion)
