As a follow-up to last week's S.O.S/S.E.A. film "Planet Earth: The Future" you may be interested to see the newly released 2007 Red List of Threatened Species maintained by The World Conservation Union. The list is searchable and contains scientific as well as popular names for the listed species - both animals and plants. There is a brief overview of some of the notable animals on the list at Discovery.com newsfeed.
While we are on the topic of endangered animals...there is an interesting article out of the Sacramento Bee about how Sacramento State helped a potential donor get approved hunting licenses for "red listed" species in Tanzania. It is a really interesting article, and like the film "Planet Earth" shows 'conservation' is in the eye of the beholder.
