Abstract :This study aimed to compare the IUCN and The National Biodiversity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Noah\`s Ark); Data of plant and terrestrial animals insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish);. When the number of plant taxa is compared, it is seen that the difference between the two databases is very high. The main reason for this difference is that the plant species are not thoroughly evaluated in the IUCN. Also, there are differences in animal species. One possible reason is that marine species have not been evaluated in Noah\`s Ark Database. Another possible reason is that as a result of researchers\` taxonomic studies, some species are combined or separated. Elimination of the difference between these databases will provide a more accurate evaluation and interpretation.
