Although the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has a large number of users, many of whom successfully run queries and download data they are wanting; there are many users who, judging from their emails to us or the nature of their data requests do not fully understand how to navigate the site to find the information they need or if they do how to download and interpret what they get. This session is intended to be a practical demonstration of the various ways to navigate the site, with tips and useful information on how to make optimal use of the website. The session will also demonstrate the different types of data that are available for download and will provide advice on how best to do the downloads. Time permitting, we will also explore the wealth of other resources available on the Red List website. The session will be open to address any user comments or questions.
