Mongolian Red List of Birds

“This impressive volume… is also the most comprehensive source of information on Mongolian birds produced to date. It is a resource that will be used by everyone from students to policy makers to conservation planners to leading ornithologists” describes Prof. Jonathan Baillie, Director of Conservation Programmes, and ZSL.

This Red List contains all known Mongolian birds and highlights their status within Mongolia, accompanied by other information such as their global and regional distributions, legal status, habitats, ecology, breeding biology, dominant threats and conservation measures. Species have been assessed using the ‘IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria’ (IUCN, 2001), which incorporate quantitative thresholds to categories species in terms of their risk of extinction (Least Concern, Near Threatened, Vulnerable, Endangered, Critically Endangered, Extinct in the Wild, and Extinct). The assessments were carried out by over 40 leading experts on Mongolian birds, gathered at the Mongolian Biodiversity Databank workshop from September 30 to October 5, 2009.
