Red Table Indicator; endangered animals and plants
Description
This table provides an overview of the extent of the threat posed by animal and plant groups in the Netherlands in 1995, 2005 and annually from 2013. This is done by comparing the “color” of the so-called Red Lists.
A Red List is a list of endangered plant or animal species with per species the extent to which it is threatened in its survival. When the threat increases, the “color” of the list becomes “roder”/dark, if the threat decreases less “red”/lighter. The “color” is actually the total number of steps that the endangered species together are off from the non-threatened status, where a step is the transition from a Red List status to the next status to a greater or lesser degree of threat. For example, a change from status “vulnerable” to “Senseful” status is one step in the right direction (+ 1); a species that goes from “vulnerable” to “Very endangered” takes two steps towards extinction (-2). The colour of the 1995 Red Lists is set at 100, each looking at the same collection of species on the 1995 Red Lists. A value of 104 in 2005 means that the threat increased by 4 % compared to 1995.
The degree of threat of a species in a given year is derived from its rarity in that year and the trend from 1950 to that year. More information about this can be found in this explanation under ‘Sources and Methods’.
