IUCN - Classification of Conservation Actions In-Place Note that this Classification Scheme is very different to the Conservation Actions

Needed scheme. The intention of this scheme is simply to gather some basic
information about what actions are currently in place to provide some guidance on
what actions are needed. In all cases, after selecting an option a text box appears
Version: 2.0 to capture additional information. Note that this is not currently published on the
IUCN Red List, hence this information may also need to be captured under the
Conservation Actions narrative which is published.

Level of Classification Definition

1 2 3 Examples Exposition

Monitoring & Planning

1. Is there an Action Recovery Plan? Is there a Recovery Plan, Species Conservation Plan, etc. in place?
Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown".

2. Is there a systematic monitoring Is there a monitoring scheme in place specifically for the taxon being
scheme? assessed? Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown". Such schemes include:
regular census counts, periodic aerial transects, fixed-point
photographs, etc.

Land/Water Protection & Management

3. Have conservation sites been
identified?
4. Does the taxon occur in at least
one Protected Area?
Select "Yes, over entire range", "Yes, over part of range", "No" or
"Unknown". Note that these should be sites which may or may not be
currently receiving any protection, but they have been identified as
being important areas e.g., Key Biodiversity Areas, Important Bird
Areas, Important Plant Areas, Ecologically and Biologically Significant
Areas (marine), etc.
Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown". Protected Areas are usually those
that fall within the IUCN Protected Area Categories of I - VI.

4.1 If yes, indicate what
proportion of the population is
within Protected Areas (1-100%)
Estimate what percentage of the population is in protected areas.
The relevant percentage range band can be selected or users can
specify a certain percentage or range using the "Custom" option.
Users may also indicate what percentage of the range of a taxon
is within protected areas as a surrogate measure, but if this is
used, it should be specified in the notes field against this item.

5. is there an area based regional Is there a Management Plan in place for the Protected Areas or
management plan? Conservation Sites identified above (this also includes area
management plans for parts of the species range outside of protected
areas/conservation sites)? Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown".

6. Is there invasive species control or If invasive species are a threat to the taxon being assessed, are there
prevention? any efforts underway to control invasives or prevent invasives from
impacting the taxon. Select "Yes", "No", "Unknown" or "Not
Applicable". If "Yes", provide details in the Conservation Actions
narrative field.

Species Management
7. Is there a harvest management
plan?
8. Has the taxon been successfully
reintroduced or introduced benignly? should be breeding and their off-spring should also have started
9. Is the taxon subject to ex-situ
conservation?
Education & Legislation
10. Is the taxon the subject of any
recent education or awareness
programmes?
11. Is the taxon Included in
international legislation?
12. Is the taxon subject to any
international management/trade
controls?

Definition
Examples Exposition
Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown".
Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown". Successfully reintroduced taxa
breeding. Likewise for benign introductions - these are introductions
outside of the known historical range of a taxon but in similar habitat,
which are done purely for conservation reasons (not commercial or
any other reasons). Details should be provided in the Conservation
Actions narrative field.
Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown". If yes, details of the ex-situ actions
should be provided in the Conservation Actions narrative field.
Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown". If yes, provide details in the
Conservation Actions narrative field.
Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown". If "Yes", specify in both the text box
and the Conservation Actions narrative which legislation, e.g., the
CITES Appendices (indicate which Appendix), CMS Appendices, any
of the CMS Regional Agreements (ASCOBAMS, AEWA,
ACCOBAMS, EUROBATS, ACAP, etc.), Bern Convention, European
Habitats Directive, International Whaling Convention, ICCAT, etc.
Select "Yes", "No" or "Unknown". If yes, indicate the Convention,
Treaty or Organization involved under the Conservation Actions
narrative field if it has not already been specified. Examples include
CITES, Regional Fisheries Agreements, ICCAT, Marine Stewardship
Council, Forestry Stewardship Council, Marine Aquarium Council,
Phytosanitary Measures Agreement, US Endangered Species Act,
etc.
