【教学过程】

Step 1 问与答

引导学生阅读文本，借助以下问题帮助学生理解文本内容。

(1)      When was the IUCN Red List created?

(2)      What information does the IUCN Red List contain?

(3)      How many categories does the IUCN Red List divide species into?

(4)                Can you name two conservation categories from the list?

(5)                What makes a species “Endangered”, according to the IUCN?

(6)      What makes a species “Vulnerable”?

 

Step 2 名录动态分析

教师补充IUCN 红色名录物种信息，并向学生提问，通过问题帮助学生理解IUCN红色名录中物种的状态是随着物种数量的变化动态变化的。

Category	Species Name	Change in IUCN Red List Status	Reasons for Change

Category	Species Name	Change in IUCN Red List Status	Reasons for Change
Status Improved (Threat Reduced)状态改善（威胁降低）	Giant Panda	From Endangered (EN) to Vulnerable (VU) (2016)	Increased wild population due to anti-poaching efforts and habitat restoration in China.
Status Worsened (Threat Increased)状态恶化（威胁加剧）	Atlantic Salmon大西洋鲑鱼	From Least Concern (LC) to Near Threatened (NT)	23% population decline (2006–2020) due to climate change and habitat loss in spawning rivers.
Extinct or Extinct in the Wild 灭绝或野外灭绝	Chinese Sturgeon 白鲟	Declared Extinct (EX) in 2022	Failed to detect wild individuals; threats included overfishing and habitat destruction.

 

 

(1)  Which species’ status has improved?

(2)  Which species’ status has worsened?

(3)  The giant panda has changed from EN into VU. Can you tell the reason?

(4)  Which species became extinct ?

 

Step 3 深度思考

如果学生程度较好，教师可引导学生基于以下问题深度思考IUCN红色名录的意义。

(1) What do you think the purpose of the IUCN Red List is?

(2)What would happen if we lost these endangered species forever?
