Tree Conservation Database

UNEP-WCMC, in association with the IUCN Species Survival Commission
and a network of experts, identified over 8000 tree species which are
threatened with extinction at a global level. This survey, supported
by the Government of the Netherlands as part of the Conservation and
Sustainable Management of Trees project, is the first of its kind to
assess the conservation status of tree species worldwide. Information
on individual species is recorded in the Tree Conservation Database
and includes IUCN red list category, information on distribution,
uses, ecology, threats and conservation measures. Summary information
on individual species is published in The World List of Threatened
Trees.

The Tree Conservation Database holds information on threatened species
and others of conservation concern. This database is used to generate
The World List of Threatened Trees, and the information is available
here in interactive format. This information resource is a result of
collaboration between individual scientists worldwide, expert opinions
derived from three regional workshops, and many organisations, notably
the WCMC, and Species Survival Commission of IUCN.
