In this inventory, France is among the 10 countries hosting the largest number of threatened species: a total of 1,683 species threatened at the global level are present on its territory, in metropolitan France and in overseas territories. Based on accurate information on threatened species, its main purpose is to identify priorities for action, to mobilize public and political attention on the urgency and extent of conservation problems, and to encourage all stakeholders to act to limit the rate of species extinction. The world’s most complete inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal speciesīased on a solid scientific foundation, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is recognized as the most reliable reference tool for assessing the level of threats to specific biological diversity. At the end of each plan, an assessment and an evaluation of the results are realized and, if necessary, a new PNA is written. Thus the LPO has implemented and continues to animate about ten National Action Plans (PNA), each one having its own predetermined life span. This places France in 7th position in the world of countries with the most threatened birds.Īll of this work relating to the monitoring and inventory of avifauna, as well as sites of major biological interest, constitute references used to implement action plans for threatened birds, both at the regional, national and international levels. There are no less than 38 extinct species. Among them, 90 are present in France, 13 in Metropolitan France and the majority in Overseas France. The worldwide avifauna inventory includes no less than 1,375 species that are considered threatened in 2015, i.e.
The LPO has set up a database on the status of the species of France and DOM-TOM which contributes to the realization of the national red lists, as well as to the red lists realized by BirdLife international at the European and world levels.
