The Listing of Coast Redwood as Endangered Under the IUCN Red List: Lessons for Conservation (Kelly, 2017, US Forest Service)

Government Research Report

US Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station technical report (Gen. Tech. Rep. PSW-GTR-258) by Erin Clover Kelly, 2017, on the 2013 IUCN Red List Endangered listing of coast redwood, confirming the listing under Red List criterion A2 while arguing it is fundamentally flawed by the Red List's own metrics and misses redwood's real conservation challenge, which is ecosystem functionality of old-growth stands rather than the survival of individual trees.
