This study aimed to improve the ways of risk
assessment for environmental safety. The implementation
of “Environmental safety passports of species” is
of practical importance for effective risk assessment of
individual species impact to the environment, humans
and other living organisms. The classification schemes
of International Union for Conservation of Nature for
evaluating habitats, threats & stresses, use and trade,
livelihoods of species were analyzed and adapted to the
requirements of environmental safety. Some sections
such as general information about species, their distribution,
ecological classification, metabolism features,
risks evaluation and beneficial use were itemized to be
included into the structure of ESPS.
