Red List of Threatened Species of Greece
In celebration of European Natura 2000 Day on May 21, the new Red List of Threatened plant, animal, and fungi in Greece is now available, serving as a significant tool for the protection of natural heritage and the sustainable management of natural resources.
The specific list is a result of collaboration between the Organization for Natural Environment and Climate Change Agency Greece (NECCA) and 140 scientists, evaluated over 11,000 species, 21.5% of which were classified as threatened. Specifically, 1,213 species are Vulnerable (VU), 775 are Endangered (EN), and 453 are Critically Endangered (CR). Among these, 3,000 endemic species of Greece will be included in the global Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
This initiative, funded by the Operational Program “Transport Infrastructure, Environment, and Sustainable Development 2014-2020,” supports the design of targeted conservation actions and protection policies. Greece also participates in the Natura 2000 network, which protects areas of high environmental value and threatened species. The publication of the Red List on European Natura 2000 Day reinforces efforts to protect nature at both National and European scales.
