确定濒临灭绝的物种是保护的中心目标。随着为自然保护联盟红名单评估汇编的数据的使用范围扩大，人们对自然保护联盟红名单类别和标准的目的、适用和使用产生了一些误解。我们概述了五类这样的误解；最重要的驱动建议是对标准的调整版本，使物种之间的评估不可比拟。未来的一个关键挑战将是认识到这样一个点，即理解已经有了如此显著的发展，现在是时候制定下一代红名单标准了。我们认为我们还没有做到这一点，但认识到红色名录的审查和继续发展的必要性，最后提出了其他研究可能对提高对物种灭绝风险的理解有价值的领域。
The identification of species at risk of extinction is a central goal of conservation. As the use of data compiled for IUCN Red List assessments expands, a number of misconceptions regarding the purpose, application and use of the IUCN Red List categories and criteria have arisen. We outline five such classes of misconception; the most consequential drive proposals for adapted versions of the criteria, rendering assessments among species incomparable. A key challenge for the future will be to recognize the point where understanding has developed so markedly that it is time for the next generation of the Red List criteria. We do not believe we are there yet but, recognizing the need for scrutiny and continued development of Red Listing, conclude by suggesting areas where additional research could be valuable in improving the understanding of extinction risk among species.
