Conservation Assessment Management Plans

For most regions of the world, lists of threatened species and habitats are not available. The Conservation Assessment and Management Plan process is designed to assess the status and degree of threat of a group of taxa so that management actions can be developed for species in need. Numerous criteria are examined and presented: species' status in the wild and in captivity, their degree of endangerment, and the need for research or PHVAs.
