Lists by taxon group
The worksheet "Lists by taxon group" is potentially extremely
useful for summarising items on a list. This is in many ways more
straightforward to use than the master list and is in fact a
simplified presentation of the data in the master list. (For those
familiar with Excel functionality it is a Pivot Table based on the
master list).
You can use this sheet to get a simple taxon list for a given
taxon group and reporting category. The taxon list will be
categorised according to designation. In the example shown below
the worksheet is filtered to show only red listed butterflies.
It should look something like the screenshot below.
As you can see in the above example the
designations are sorted in the order specified by the IUCN
criteria, ie by order of threat status (starting with Extinct and
ending with Rare).
If you wish to see the IUCN Red listings for
another taxonomic group, you should choose one from the drop down
menu at the top left of the above page.
You can also change the reporting category, eg to
biodiversity Action Plan lists by clicking on the down arrow to the
right of the "reporting category" column heading and ticking the
appropriate category.
Note that the drop down list for reporting
category enables the user to choose more than one category.
