Organizations should footnote all assumptions used, including source of data.
This metric is intended to capture the global conservation status of a species in accordance with the IUCN Red List (https://www.iucn.org/resources/conservation-tools/iucn-red-list-threatened-species#RL_categories). Organizations should refer to the IUCN Red List Index to report on the conservation status of specific identified species.
In applying this metric, organizations should begin by understanding which species' habitats are on land assessed by the organization. As a result, this metric is often used in conjunction with Species Area of Habitat (PD2584).
June 2022 - IRIS v5.3 Released (current version)
Immaterial change. Minor revision to usage guidance for clarity.
January 2020 - IRIS v5.1 Released
New metric. Species Conservation Status (PD6429) was developed via the IRIS+ Sustainable Water Management Expert Subgroup.
IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
