Study threats to nature and biodiversity loss online

Nature Under Threat is a set of two courses that give insight into how and why species and ecosystems are increasingly becoming threatened, and how threat status is assessed using the international Red List methodology. The studies also outline the causes behind the ongoing biodiversity loss.

Endangerment is an ecological fact that affects societies across the globe. Assessing the level of endangerment of species and ecosystems is a key tool in measuring biodiversity loss, directing conservation and following the impacts of conservation actions.
