Description: The European Red List is a review of the conservation status of European species according to IUCN regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level - in order that appropriate conservation action can be taken to improve their status. This publication summarises results for all Europe's native species of bees (1,965 species). 9.2% of species are threatened with extinction at the European level due to habitat loss as a result of agriculture intensification (e.g., changes in agricultural practices including the use of pesticides and fertilisers), urban development, increased frequency of fires and climate change. The European Red List was compiled by IUCN's Global Species Programme and the European Union Representative Office with support from the STEP project (www.STEP-project.onet) and it is the product of a service contract with the European Commission. It is available online at http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/conservation/species/redlist and http://www.iucnredlist.org/initiatives/europe
