EN15 Number of IUCN Red List species<br />
and national conservation list species<br />
with habitats in areas affected by<br />
operations, by level of extinction risk.<br />
1. Relevance<br />
This Indicator helps the reporting organization to<br />
identify where its activities can pose a threat to<br />
endangered plant and animal species. By identifying<br />
these threats, the organization can initiate appropriate<br />
steps to avoid harm and to prevent the extinction of<br />
species. The IUCN Red List and national conservation<br />
list species can serve as authorities on the sensitivity<br />
of habitat in areas affected by operations, and on<br />
the relative importance of these habitats from a<br />
management perspective.<br />
4. Documentation<br />
Information on the presence of species on the IUCN<br />
Red List and national conservation lists can be obtained<br />
from national/regional conservation agencies, local<br />
authorities, or environmental NGOs. For organizations<br />
operating in or adjacent to protected areas or areas<br />
of high-biodiversity value, planning studies or other<br />
permit materials may also contain information about the<br />
biodiversity within the protected areas.<br />
