Scale Insects and Mealy Bugs of India (Insecta: Homoptera: Coccoidea)

A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant, or other type of organism. The term typically refers to the zone in which the organism lives and where it can find food, shelter, protection and mates for reproduction. It is the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds a species population.

Rarity

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species provides taxonomic, conservation status and distribution information on plants, fungi and animals that have been globally evaluated using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. This system is designed to determine the relative risk of extinction, and the main purpose of the IUCN Red List is to catalogue and highlight those plants and animals that are facing a higher risk of global extinction (i.e. those listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered and Vulnerable). The IUCN Red List also includes information on plants, fungi and animals that are categorized as Extinct or Extinct in the Wild; on taxa that cannot be evaluated because of insufficient information (i.e., are Data Deficient); and on plants, fungi and animals that are either close to meeting the threatened thresholds or that would be threatened were it not for an ongoing taxon-specific conservation programme (i.e., are Near Threatened).

IUCN Red List Category

Geoprivacy is when the geographic location is kept private. This is enabled for species which have their conservation status marked to be at risk (IUCN Redlist: Critically Endangered or Endangered) or is a species threatened with extinction, whose trade is prohibited (CITES: Appendix I). When the Geoprivacy trait is enabled, observations of that species will have their locations automatically obscured.
