1 - a feasibility study

2 EXISTING RED LISTS 31 lists/books from 19 countries/regions
Only selected habitats/plant communities

3 CRITERIA USED Quantity Range/Extent, dispersal, stand size, biogeographic zone, rarity Quality Species composition, sub-types, structure & function, rare species, mosaics ‘Prospects’ Threats, vulnerability, protection, restorability, sensitivity

4 Approach... • EUNIS level 3 (terrestrial)/4 (marine) • IUCN categories (CR, EN, VU, LC, ...) ‘Collapsed’ replaces ‘extinct’ used for species • Compatible with IUCN global approach (Keith et al in press) • Recomended time frame for trends is 50 years (500 years not realistic in Europe)

5 Terrestial level 3 D2.3 Transition mires and quaking bogs D4.2 Basic mountain flushes and streamsides, with a rich arctic-montane flora E5.5 Subalpine moist or wet tall-herb and fern stands G1.6 Fagus woodland Marine level 4 A1.11 Mussel and/or barnacle communities A2.32 Polychaete/oligochaete-dominated upper estuarine mud shores A2.71 Littoral Sabellaria reefs A6.61 Communities of deep-sea corals

6 EOO Extent of occurrence
AOO Area of occurrence Proposed criteria for Red List assessment of European habitat types Quantity & Quality

7 Habitat red listing will be one of the themes of this year’s EVS meeting
