Red List species spatial data

The 2010 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species contains assessments for almost 56,000 species, of which about 28,000 have spatial data. There are several new and updated species distribution datasets available to download from the Red List website. All the datasets have no restriction for non-commercial use and can be downloaded freely.  Visit http://www.iucnredlist.org/technical-documents/spatial-data for details.
