Does anyone know how I can obtain a list of endangered animals? I hear that the Consortium on the International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) may have such a list. I was told the CITES rates species as rare, threatened, or endangered. I am doing some research and need this info for education purposes. Thanks.

You can obtain a descriptive list of publications from International Union for the Conservation of Nature Publications Unit 181a Huntingdon Rd Cambridge, CB3 ODJ England CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) is managed by the IUCN. They may be able to provide you with some free ref materials but most of the CITES lists include quite comprehensive analysis of why a species was added to either of the Appendices (I & II) and this runs into many expensive pages of text to reproduce. Insofar as I am aware none of this material is available on the net in a cohesive form.

The CITES office is at Case Postale 78
1000 Lausanne 9
Switzerland
You can get the IUCN Red Data book in many bookstores (books - its
several volumes and the new bird volume is not yet complete. However,
the Red Data Book is not the same thing as the CITES appendices. As I
explained when to this person when she posted in rec.pets.birds, CITES
appendices are as follows:
Appendix I is species that are endangered and negatively affected by
trade. Appendix II is species that are not endangered but that are
traded at such levels that the trade must be regulated in order to
prevent them from becoming endangered. Appendix III is species that are
protected by laws in the range country.
HOpe this helps all.

In addition, if you're interested in a list of birds considered threatened or endangered by the U.S. government (and thereby listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act), you can write or call for such a list: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Division of Endangered Species Washington, D.C. 20240 703/358-2171
