Plan national d’actions en faveur des Libellules

This European Red List provides an updated summary of the conservation status of the European species of dragonflies and damselflies (hereafter Odonata), evaluated according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (2012a) and IUCN’s global (IUCN Standards and Petitions Committee, 2022) and regional (IUCN, 2012b) guidelines. It is a completely revised second edition with inclusion of any new data. It is a comprehensive, region-wide assessment of dragonflies and builds on the previous work done for the first European Red List of Dragonflies (Kalkman et al., 2010) and on the Atlas of the dragonflies and damseflies in Europe (Boudot and Kalkman, 2015; Kalkman et al., 2018). It identifies species threatened with extinction at the European and EU27 Member State levels so that appropriate policy measures and conservation actions can be taken to improve their status, based on the best available evidence.
