sRedList Platform - a tool to support Red List assessments
This platform is a joint effort between the sRedList working group and LifeWatch Italy, aiming to facilitate and streamline the work of Red List assessors. By providing an easy and interactive access to multiple analyses, the platform aims to improve the consistency of the assessments across experts and taxa, while not limiting expert judgement in the evaluation. Every product of the platform can be directly submitted to SIS Connect. It currently enables for instance: 1. creating a distribution from online available or uploaded occurrence data; 2. mapping species Area of Habitat and calculating trends in Area of Habitat; 3. extracting Countries of Occurrence of the species; 4. calculating trends in forest cover in species' range; 5. Calculating population severe fragmentation.

- Operation name
- rgbif
- Description
- A programmatic interface to the Web Service methods provided by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; <https://www.gbif.org/developer/summary>). GBIF is a database of species occurrence records from sources all over the globe. rgbif includes functions for searching for taxonomic names, retrieving information on data providers, getting species occurrence records, getting counts of occurrence records, and using the GBIF tile map service to make rasters summarizing huge amounts of data.
- Function
- Selection and download occurrence records from gBIF.

- https://github.com/iobis/robis
- Description
- A programmatic interface to the Web Service methods provided by the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS). It includes functions for data access, as well as a few helper functions for visualizing occurrence data and extracting nested MeasurementOrFact or DNADerivedData records.
- Function
- Selection and download occurrence records from OBIS.
- Operation name
- IUCN Red List API
- Description
- The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) maintains a comprehensive database of the world's threatened species, known as the Red List. The IUCN Red List API provides programmatic access to this data, allowing developers to easily retrieve information about endangered species.
- Function
- Search, visualization or download of information about endangered species.
