本文旨在探讨国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）濒危物种红色名录在实现生物多样性保护和防止物种灭绝方面的作用。红色名录是一种计算工具，根据物种面临的灭绝风险对其进行分类。本文借鉴了金融社会研究文献中的理论，分析了红色名单如何为物种灭绝构建一个可计算的空间。然后，分析追溯了这种框架溢出的方式，为计算创新创造了条件，例如人类和计算设备（即机构）的集合被构建为具有集体能力，以采取行动保护生物多样性并防止物种灭绝。本文追溯了红名单框架溢出的三种方式，导致了计算创新和新机构的建设。由红色名录产生的“灭绝风险”的质量与其他质量（如位置）之间的关系溢出，为保护主义者创造了发展能够制定保护战略的机构的机会。红色名录中“受威胁物种”的身份与被评估物种的其他特征之间的关系泛滥，为保护主义者创造了机会，使他们能够发展能够推动参与保护工作的机构。物种之间的生态关系的溢出，被红色名录的灭绝风险分类的等级计量学所抛弃，为保护主义者创造了机会，以发展能够面对社会灭绝危机现实的机构。本文有助于生物多样性文献的会计解决其根本挑战：解释会计如何在社会中创造条件，使生物多样性保护成为可能。
The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species in achieving biodiversity conservation and preventing the extinction of species. The Red List is a calculative device that classifies species in terms of their exposure to the risk of extinction.,The paper draws on theorising in the Social Studies of Finance literature to analyse the Red List in terms of how it frames a space of calculability for species extinction. The analysis then traces the ways that this framing has overflowed, creating conditions for calculative innovations, such that assemblages of humans and calculative devices (i.e. agencements) are constructed with collective capabilities to act to conserve biodiversity and prevent species extinctions.,This paper has traced three ways that the Red List frame has overflowed, leading to calculative innovations and the construction of new agencements. The overflow of relations between the quality of “extinction risk”, produced by the Red List, and other qualities, such as location, has created opportunities for conservationists to develop agencements capable of formulating conservation strategies. The overflow of relations between the identity of the “threatened species”, produced by the Red List, and other features of evaluated species, has created opportunities for conservationists to develop agencements capable of impelling participation in conservation efforts. The overflow of ecological relations between species, discarded by the Red List’s hierarchical metrology of extinction risk classifications, has created opportunities for conservationists to develop agencements capable of confronting society with the reality of an extinction crisis.,The paper contributes to the accounting for biodiversity literature by addressing its fundamental challenge: explaining how accounting can create conditions within society in which biodiversity conservation is made possible.
