2011-2012 Forum topics Final decisions
The attached spreadsheet lists the results of the 2012 forum consultations, subject to approval and ratification by IUCN. Please use the filters to look for your region or species group of interest.
Any discussions of species for which we do not feel we have had sufficient feedback to enable us to make a decision are to be held open and we will continue to seek comments on these species for the 2013 update. The species for which discussions are to be held open are marked ‘pend’ in the spreadsheet.
The comprehensive 2012 Red List update will be fully launched on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in late May 2012, and we discourage significant publicity of any status changes before this point – please email andy.symes@birdlife.org if you need further information or would like to discuss publicity based on the 2012 status changes.

Could you please put the spreadsheet in xls file format? My computer can’t open xlsm files.
Thanks,

A new version of the file in Excel 97-2003 has been posted.
Please note that a corrected version of the spreadsheet has been posted to better reflect the previous taxonomic treatment of the species being discussed. Under ‘Existing category’, NR stands for ‘Not recognised’ and concerns species that are newly recognised at the point of the 2012 Red List update, whilst UR stands for ‘Under review’ and concerns species that were recognised at the point of the 2011 Red List update but had not yet been assessed.

A further revision to the spreadsheet now enables users to see the changes in taxonomic order.
