| Main results | - Theoretical results:
+ Providing updated data for 1,398 threatened species for the Viet Nam Red List Database, comprising 742 species of animal and 656 species of plants and fungi;
+ Developing an online Database for Viet Nam Red List;
+ Compiling the Viet Nam Red Data Books: Volume I. Animals, Volume II. Plants and Fungi.
- Applied results:
+ The results of this project provide basic data for inclusion of endangered species of wild fauna and flora in the Governmental Decrees (amendement to and changes of the Governmental Decrees No. 160/2013/ND-CP, No. 64/2019/ND-CP, No. 06/2019/ND-CP and No. 84/2021/ND-CP);
+ The results of this Project provide useful data for conservation of wild animals, plants and fungi in Vietnam. |
| Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results | - Providing species assessment documents of 1,398 threatened species based on IUCN’s criteria with updated information on taxonomy, distribution, population status and threats to the wild faunal, floral and fungus species in Vietnam. |
