उत्तर
Red Data Book or Red List is a catalogue of taxa facing the risk of extinction. IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources), now renamed WCU (World Conservation Union, Morges, Switzerland), maintains the Red Data Book. The concept of the Red List was mooted in 1963.
