Abstract– This study assesses the conservation status of all dragonflies and damselflies reported from India. 3 suborders, 17 families and 504 species of odonates are reported from India till now. IUCN has done excellent work on assessing status of conservation, population trends, and distribution of odonates. IUCN Red List provides a comprehensive catalogue and framework for evaluating the conservation status of odonates. However no consolidated and annotated list of Indian odonates with their conservation status is present, so this study fills this research gap and provides a complete list of reported Indian odonates along with their conservation status. Maximum odonate species were reported under Least Concern and Data Deficient Categories.
Keywords: IUCN Red List, Odonata, DD, LC, NE, NT, VU, EN, CR, CITES
