An ecosystem with plants and animals of unusual scientific and natural interest is known as a biosphere reserve. UNESCO has given this label for protecting these sites. The main motive is to promote the management, research, and education in conservation of education. It also includes the 'sustainable use of natural resources'. The number of biosphere reserves in May 2002 was 408 in 94 countries. Similipal is a biosphere reserve in Odisha.

A park in use for conservation purposes is known as a National park. It is basically a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Flora and fauna are provided immense protection in such areas. Currently, in India, we have 166 national parks. Corbett National Park is the first national park of India.

'Red Data Book' contains lists of all the species of plants and animals whose continued existence is threatened. Species are classified into different categories of perceived risk. Each 'Red Data Book' usually deals with a specific group of animals or plants (eg., reptiles, insects, mosses). They are now being published in many different countries and provide useful information on the threat status of the species. The 'Red Data Book' is a list of endangered species. It is released by ICUN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). It was first released in 1963.

'Red Data Book is also known as 'Red Book' or 'Russian Red Data Book'. It is a state document established for documenting rare and endangered species of animals, plants and fungi, as well as some local subspecies that exist within the territory of the 'Russian Federation' and its continental shelf and marine economic zone. The book has been adopted by Russia and all CIS states to enact a common agreement on rare and endangered species protection.

-
Rare
-
Extinct
Endangered species is a species facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future due to a decrease in its habitat, excessive predation or poaching.
Vulnerable species are those for which presently the population is sufficient but is undergoing depletion due to some factors so that it is facing the risk of extinction in a medium term.
Rare species are species with naturally small populations, either localized or thinly scattered.
Extinct species are the taxon completely eliminated or died out from Earth, e.g., Dodo.

IUCN is the 'International Union of Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources', which is not called as 'World Conservation Union' (WCU). It maintains a 'Red Data Book' Or 'Red List', which is a catalog of taxa facing the risk of extinction. The purpose of preparing the 'Red List' is to provide awareness to the degree of threat to biodiversity, provide global index about already declined biodiversity. Identification of species at greater risk of extinctions and preparing conservation priorities and help in conservation.
