AB The European Union has adopted the ambitious target of halting the loss of biodiversity by2010. Several indicators have been proposed to assess progress towards the 2010 target, twoof them addressing directly the issue of species decline. In Europe, the Fauna Europaeadatabase gives an insight into the patterns of distribution of a total dataset of 130,000 terrestrialand freshwater species without taxonomic bias, and provide a unique opportunityto assess the feasibility of the 2010 target. It shows that the vast majority of European speciesare rare, in the sense that they have a restricted range. Considering this, the paper discusseswhether the 2010 target indicators really cover the species most at risk of extinction.The analysis of a list of 62 globally extinct European taxa shows that most contemporaryextinctions have affected narrow-range taxa or taxa with strict ecological requirements.Indeed, most European species listed as threatened in the IUCN Red List are narrow-rangespecies. Conversely, there are as many wide-range species as narrow-range endemics inthe list of protected species in Europe (Bird and Habitat Directives). The subset ofbiodiversity captured by the 2010 target indicators should be representative of the wholebiodiversity in terms of patterns of distribution and abundance. Indicators should not overlooka core characteristic of biodiversity, i.e. the large number of narrow-range species andtheir intrinsic vulnerability. With ill-selected indicator species, the extinction of narrowrangeendemics would go unnoticed
