Red Data Book: a list of a country’s rare and endangered species. All of the countries in central Asia,
which were part of the former Soviet Union have produced and published Red Data Books. Most of these
publications have unfortunately used a qualitative approach in determining the conservation status of
species, and all have primarily been concerned with the national rather than global conservation status.
These national Red Data Books are, however, very important because they are approved by special decrees
of the respective governments and form the legal basis for the development of protection measures at the
country level (Bykova and Hilton-Taylor, undated, viewed at redlist.freenet.uz/rl/rlregion_e.html, June
2003).
