Extractions: International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. The Red List is a compilation of species categorized as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable according to the IUCN Categories of Threat. For the most part, categorizations are made by the Species Survival Commission (SSC) Specialist Group covering the taxa in question. Guidelines for using the Red List criteria have been developed to assist Specialist Groups in assessing the conservation status of fishes. The most recent edition of the Red List, which utilized these criteria, is the 1996 IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals. The WCMC Animals Database holds information on threatened species and others of conservation concern. Part of this database is used to generate The IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals, and this information is available here in interactive format. WWF - The World Wildlife Fund

Extractions: An animal care manager oversees the day-to-day operations of a specific collection of wildlife, such as birds. Curators often accompany animals that need to travel from one facility to another, but usually not quite this close! Never tied to a desk for long, curators like to have up-close visits with their charges. Managing Animal Collections What We Do Curators and animal care managers are responsible for overseeing and managing the specific collections at the San Diego Zoo or Wild Animal Park: mammals, birds, and reptiles and amphibians. The curators make decisions about which species to bring into the collection (acquisition), and which ones to send to other zoos (disposition). They also create long-range plans for animals within the Zoo, Park, and in the wild by working with other organizations and agencies, and they help decide which conservation projects the Zoo and Park will be involved in. Both curators and animal care managers are responsible for the daily care of the animals and managing the keeper staff. They also help design exhibits, make decisions about breeding animals, and write guidelines and policies for the care of animals.
