The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species has become the global standard for assessing the risk of extinction each species on earth faces. However, conservation also needs an optimistic vision of species conservation that presents a road map on how to achieve recovery, and the IUCN is creating a new set of metrics to do just that. These new metrics, known collectively as the "Green List of Species," will be incorporated into the Red List in the coming years (note that this is a third, separate initiatve from the Green Lists of Protected Areas and of Ecosystems). Like the Red List, the Green List of Species will rely on expert opinion informed by the latest available data, but will incorporate a more formal structured expert elicitation approach. The Green List of Species will evaluate species' recovery status in terms of function (is the species fulfilling its role, or functionally extinct?) and geographic distribution relative to its historical range. It will also assess how conservation actions have contributed to recovery status using counterfactual approaches. However, these metrics must be refined before rollout, considering the challenges presented by species with varying life histories and qualities of data. Here, we present the working Green List of Species assessment framework and invite feedback.

Conservation needs to integrate fire management into an adaptive planning perspective to leverage wildfire suppression co-benefits for bird conservation
Regos, Adrián; Hermoso, Virgilio; D'Amen, Manuela; Guisan, Antoine; Brotons, Lluís (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Protected areas (PAs) play a key role in safeguarding biodiversity worldwide. However, their future role can be seriously compromised in dynamic socio-ecological systems due to their limited ability to incorporate the ... -
Integrative nature conservation strategies for wood production and biodiversity conservation
Müller, Jörg (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The importance of beta-diversity in European forest requires concepts considering a wide range of set-aside elements ranging from single trees or logs to large strictly protected areas. A successful combination of such ... -

Frontiers for conservation: targeting European borders as conservation areas
Ascensão, Fernando; D'Amico, Marcello; Barrientos, Rafael; Revilla, Eloy; Pereira, Henrique Miguel (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)It has been long recognized that political borders should not hamper wildlife, and that conservation actions involving several countries are known to bring large scale benefits to nature while helping to resolve social and ...
