Re-evaluation of the Felidae for the 2008 IUCN Red List
2007  Cat News (47): 5-5

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (www.redlist. org) is the leading measure of global plant and animal conservation status (Rodrigues et al. 2006). It illustrates IUCN's great strength in the knowledge, expertise and dedication of its Species Survival Commission (SSC) members. The IUCN Red List is updated annually and, to remain useful, species should be re-evaluated regularly, especially groups with relatively large numbers of threatened species such as the Felidae. The last comprehensive IUCN Red List evaluation for cats was in 2002 (Nowell 2002).
