WORLD SPECIES MARKET By Debbie Symons

On 16 November 2009, the latest release of the Red List of Threatened Species™ by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will for the first time be broadcast on digital screens in public spaces around the world.

The IUCN Red List is a global study on plants and animals facing extinction. IUCN is the world’s oldest and largest global environmental network with more than 1,000 government and NGO member organizations, and almost 11,000 volunteer scientists in more than 160 countries.

The Red List of Threatened Species will be presented internationally on urban screens using a creative visualisation by Australian artist Debbie Symons. Symons’ World Species Market is designed to replicate an LED stock exchange screen, with countries listed by the imminent loss of their animal and plant species.
