Conservation Actions Classification Scheme (Version 2.0)

The hierarchical structure for the conservation actions needed as show on the species Fact Sheets is provided here.

Assessors are asked to use this Classification Scheme to indicate the conservation actions or measures that are needed for the plant or animal concerned. In suggesting what actions are needed, assessors are asked to be realistic and not simply select everything. The selection should be for those actions that are most needed and that could realistically be achieved within the next five years.
