National Red Lists in Europe

The National Red Lists (NRLs) for Pollinators are a crucial tool for assessing the conservation status of pollinators at the national level, providing a foundation for science-based decision-making and conservation policies. Therefore, facilitating the development of NRLs has been a key objective of the Safeguard project, aiming to standardise and improve conservation assessments across European countries.

The application of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species methodology was promoted to develop national and regional Red Lists for European pollinators. Each pollinator species was assessed by applying the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (version 3.1), which provide a globally recognised framework for determining extinction risk.

The map below depicts the level of threat for different species per country.
