Kids Encyclopedia Facts

JREL is The National List of Threatened Terrestrial Fauna of the Philippines, also known as the Red List, is a list of endangered species endemic in the Philippines and is maintained by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through its Biodiversity Management Bureau and the Philippine Red List Committee. The list is pursuant to Republic Act No. 9147, or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act. Species are assessed solely according to their population in the Philippines and hence may not be in line with other conversation lists such as the IUCN Red List which list the Crab-eating macaque (including subspecies the Philippine long-tailed macaque) as vulnerable but is not included in the 2019 release of the Philippines' national Red List.

The list was first released in 2004. In 2019, arachnids and insects were added to the list for the first time.
