Details

Beware: IUCN functions can give back incorrect data. This isn't our fault. We do our best to get you the correct data quickly, but sometimes IUCN gives back the wrong data, and sometimes Global Names gives back the wrong data. We will fix these as soon as possible. In the meantime, just make sure that the data you get back is correct.
