Conservation biology: Biodiversity barometers
Thomas Brooks1 & Elizabeth Kennedy1
Abstract
The Red List Index is a new indicator of species' extinction risk. It will make a major contribution in measuring the success of an internationally agreed aim to slow biodiversity loss by 2010.
In April 2002, the 188 parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity agreed to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss significantly by 2010. This commitment covers all of the world's nations except Andorra, Brunei, Iraq, Somalia, Timor-Leste, the United States and the Vatican, and was endorsed by the World Summit on Sustainable Development later that year1.
- Thomas Brooks and Elizabeth Kennedy are at Conservation International, 1919 M Street NW, Washington DC 20036, USA.
