The National Red List Project is a globally recognized initiative aimed at assessing the conservation status of species at local, national, and regional levels. It serves as a platform for countries and individuals working on sub-global Red Lists to collaborate and share experiences. Through this online hub, Red List practitioners worldwide can learn from each other's experiences in conducting Red Lists and utilizing them for conservation planning.

The project database contains subnational, national, and regional Red Lists from various methods and time spans. This comprehensive collection promotes the importance and relevance of the information within. It also facilitates further development, analysis, and use of these crucial conservation tools.

National Red Lists provide countries with vital species status information within their borders. This data aids in national conservation and planning policies for effective biodiversity protection. It also helps member states and regions measure and report progress towards international commitments on biodiversity.

The project's overarching goal is to raise awareness of biodiversity and threatened species, enabling informed decision-making and prioritization for conservation efforts. The National Red List Project extends its gratitude to the organizations and institutions that have contributed time, funding, or data to this initiative
