New paper alert! 📢 I am thrilled to announce that after 3 years of hard work from 204 (!) coauthors, we have published the results of our validation of the new @IUCN#GreenStatusOfSpecies, using data from 181 species from across the tree of life 🧵(1/)
We found that the #GreenStatusOfSpecies method for assessing species' recovery status, and the impact conservation has had on recovery, is widely-applicable and ecologically-meaningful (2/)
We found that species' recovery status is linked to, but separate from @IUCNRedList extinction risk category, meaning that the #GreenStatusOfSpecies will provide new information that is conservation-relevant. This is captured in new #IUCN Species Recovery Categories (3/)
The #GreenStatusOfSpecies also measures conservation impact. We found varying impact of past conservation and potential impact of future conservation across our tested species. (5/)
