Definición

  • The Red List of Ecosystems framework assesses the relative risk of ecosystem collapse of an ecosystem type. The indicator ‘Red List Index of Ecosystems (RLIe)’ measures the average risk of ecosystem collapse of a group of ecosystems, and tracks change in this over time based on genuine change in the risk category of each ecosystem (i.e. excluding changes in categories owing to improved knowledge or better data). The Index is expressed as changes in an index ranging from 0 to 1, with decreases (towards 0) resulting from more threatened ecosystems or heighted risk, and increases (towards 1) showing improvements in risk status. A value of 0 means that all ecosystems have collapsed. A value of 1 means that all ecosystems are listed as Least Concern. The RLIe can be calculated for any set of ecosystem types for which there are Red List of Ecosystems assessments. It can thus be calculated at the subnational, national, regional or global level, or for broad ecosystem groups (e.g. ecosystem functional groups).
