[Odonata-l] lists of Odonata of special concern

[Dennis Paulson]

Hello, all.

The IUCN has launched a project to assess the conservation status of  
1500 species of Odonata (just over a fourth of the species!) randomly  
chosen from the world list to go along with the assessments that have  
already been done for many species known to be of conservation concern.

I am involved in doing these assessments for 213 species of North and  
Middle America (Canada to Panama and the West Indies), and I would  
like to include information on species that are of local conservation  
concern even if not so in their entire range. So one of the forms of  
data I would like to have available is the status of odonate species  
in any of the Canadian provinces or US states in which such lists of  
species have been generated. I know of some of them but certainly not  
all, and if any of them are published on a website, for example, I  
would much appreciate knowing the address of that website. Or if  
there is a regional list being kept by any government agency or NGO,  
I would appreciate knowing about that. I have not heard of any such  
lists available for any region south of the US border, but if there  
are for any Latin American or West Indian countries, I would very  
much like to know about those as well.

Many thanks.
