In collaboration with the IUCN Lichen Species Specialist group the Consortium of Lichen Herbaria here provides access to three global IUCN assessment lists: Global IUCN Red-List of All Species of lichen-forming, lichenicolous and allied fungi. Global IUCN Red-List of Threatened Species of lichen-forming, lichenicolous and allied fungi. Global IUCN List of Least Concern Species of lichen-forming, lichenicolous and allied fungi.
For best practices how to apply IUCN red-listing criteria to lichenized fungi please refer to this recent open-access paper in The Lichenologist:

The Southern Subpolar Region is here taken to be the area between the Antarctic Divergence and Subtropical Convergence. This region is often referred to as the Subantarctic, but that name refers to that part of the region south of the Antarctic Convergence, which has colder summers and a complete lack of arboreal vegetation (Øvstedal & Lewis Smith 2001). As trees are present on some of the areas under consideration they should not be considered "Subantarctic" and so the term "Southern Subpolar" is preferred.
The International Working Group on Taxonomic Databases for Plant Sciences (TDWG) (Brummitt 2001) include in their -Subantarctic Islands- region:
Australasia: Macquarie Island.
South Atlantic: Falkland Islands, South Georgia, South Shetland Islands, South Orkney Islands, Bouvetøya (all except the Falkland Islands included in Antarctica by Øvstedal & Lewis Smith 2001).
Indian Ocean: Tristan da Cunha & Gough Island, Prince Edward & Marion Islands, Crozet Island, Kerguelen, Heard & MacDonald Islands, St Paul Island & New Amsterdam.
This is the area used for this investigation, with the addition of the southern New Zealand Shelf Islands (Auckland Islands and Campbell Island) and the islands at the southern tip of South America: (e.g. Argentina: Tierra del Fuego (Isla Grande, Isla de los Estados); Chile: Cape Horn to Isla Wellington). Brummitt (loc. cit.) included these islands in the ‘New Zealand’ and ‘southern South America’ regions respectively, but I can see no reason to exclude these areas from the "Subantarctic" while including the Falkland Islands, and Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island.
Región Subpolar del Sur
La Región Subpolar del Sur aquí refiere al área de la divergencia Antártica y la convergencia subtropical. Muchas veces esta región esta llamada Subantártica, pero este nombre estrictamente se refiere a la región de la convergencia Antártica, caracterizado por sus veranos más frías y la ausencia de vegetación arborescente (Øvstedal & Lewis Smith 2001). Árboles están presentes en algunas partes de la región estudiado aquí y por eso no es correcto considerar a esta región como Subantártica; razón por lo cual lo llamamos Región Subpolar del Sur.
El grupo internacional de las bases taxonómicos para la ciencia de plantas (TDWG) (Brummitt 2001) incluye en su clasificación de la región de Islas Subantárticas:
Australasia: Isla Macquarie.
Océano Atlántico del Sur (cercano del Sudamérica): Islas Malvinas (Falklands), Georgia del Sur, Islas Shetland del Sur, Islas Orcadas del Sur, Isla Bouvet (todas al menos de las Malvinas están incluidas en Antártica por Øvstedal & Lewis Smith 2001).
Océano Índico: Tristan da Cunha y Isla de Gough, Isla del Príncipe Eduardo y Isla Marión, Islas Crozet, Islas Kerguelen, Islas Heard y Macdonald, Isla de San Pablo y Isla de Ámsterdam.

The U.S. National Park project contains over 29,000 records of documented occurrences of lichens in units of the U. S. National Park System. The records were obtained from the scientific literature, National Park Service reports, and the University of Minnesota Herbarium. Unpublished herbarium records from other herbaria are not included because they cannot be cited. Over 511 references reporting almost 2,550 lichen species from 151 park units are included. Only parks with reported lichens are included in the database. We have been unable to locate lichen references for other parks in the National Park system. Visit
NPLichen: A Database of Lichens in the U.S. National Parks for more information on the project. All lichen names were standardized to Version 13 (2008) of Esslinger's Checklist of North American Lichens. This database was developed jointly by James P. Bennett, U. S. Geological Survey and University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI and Clifford M. Wetmore, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN. Funding for this database was provided by the U. S. Geological Survey, Madison, WI and the Great Lakes Network Office, National Park Service, Ashland, WI.
