Answer: C

Notes:

Explanation: IUCN Green Status of Species was introduced by the IUCN in the World Conservation Congress, 2012, held in Jeju, South Korea.

It called for the development of ‘Green Lists’ of Species, Ecosystems and Protected Areas to measure conservation success in these three areas.
The IUCN Red List assesses the risk of extinction of a species whereas the IUCN Green status tracks the recovery of species’ populations and measures its conservation success.
