<br><font size=3 face="sans-serif">Dear all!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="sans-serif">In response to my e-mail, someone has
asked me how to get the plant lists. I'll let you know how I found
the information for my e-mail, so that anyone can "pull down"
the info of interest...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="sans-serif"><b><u>To search the entire database

<br><font size=3 face="sans-serif">Go to: http://www.iucnredlist.org/</font>

<br><font size=3 face="sans-serif">Choose your parameters: For instance,
to get the total number of U.S. native species assessed (the first entry

On Wednesday, September 12, 2007, the IUCN launched their new and improved
electronic <br>
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, which features new search functions,
a more user-</font><font size=3> </font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
friendly lay-out, and over 1200 new species entries.</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=3 face="Arial"><br>
Here are some statistics derived with only a little effort from the new
list. It should be noted that <br>
not all plant species previously assessed by the IUCN have been added to
the electronic database <br>
(species assessed under pre 1994 criteria may not be included). Many
thank go to Nick Kulibaba <br>
(IUCN-Sr. Development Officer) and Julie Griffin (IUCN-SSC Network Support
Officer) for <br>
"fact-checking" this info!</font><font size=3> <br>
