The Species Information Service Data Entry Module (SIS DEM) is the official database used for IUCN species assessments. The SIS DEM is still under development and new versions will be available in the near future. If you want to download the SIS DEM please follow the instructions below. Please note that all the information in this database is also presented in the Species Summaries section.

Instructions are as follows for users:

1. Click on the link below to save the SIS DEM.zip file to a temporary location on your computer and unzip it.
   
   
2. On your computer create the directory c:\Program Files\SIS and C:\Program Files\SIS\ETC.
   
   
3. Place the two .mdb files in the SIS folder and the two .gif files in the ETC folder. Double-click the SIS Data Entry Module.mdb to launch the application.

This database will work with Access 2000, 2002, and 2003. If you do not have Access at all the SIS DEM will not run.
