European Red List Odonata

Project Details

Abstract

Commissioned by the European Commission, INBO will reassess the Red List for dragonflies (Odonata).

This project includes:
- reassessing the red list status of all dragonfly species in Europe
- calculating a European Red List Index for dragonflies, which will later be integrated into an index for invertebrates
- integrating the reassessment in the Biodiversity Information System for Europe (BISE)
- supporting the design of a look-up tool for the website of the European Commission, including a range of filtering options granting access to all assessment results and underlying information
- summarizing the results to be published on the EUROPA website, and as a brochure

A2P - vervolgproject
1. Collation of information from Red List accounts by the CPSG team to form the basis of discussions.
2. A series of 5 short surveys, circulated to a wide group of experts to verify findings and gather additional data and informed opinion, on the main topics relevant to A2P multi-species planning (see attached).
3. A follow-up Zoom call after each survey, for experts to discuss the collated findings and where relevant to the topic, agree priorities.
4. Production of a report by a small editing team based on an initial draft by the CPSG team.
