NB: Species are classified by the IUCN Red List into nine categories, set through criteria such as rate of decline, population size, area of geographic distribution, and degree of population and distribution fragmentation. The term “Threatened” is a grouping of three categories such as Critically Endangered, Endangered, and Vulnerable.

Categories Criteria
Extinct (EX) No known individuals remaining
Extinct in the wild (EW) Known only to survive in captivity, or as a naturalized population outside its historic range
Threatened
Critically endangered (CR) Extremely high risk of extinction in the wild
Endangered (EN) High risk of extinction in the wild
Vulnerable (VU) High risk of endangerment in the wild
Near threatened (NT) Likely to become endangered in the near future
Least concern (LC) Lowest risk. Does not qualify for a more at-risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category
Data deficient (DD) Not enough data to make an assessment of its risk of extinction
Not evaluated (NE) Has not yet been evaluated against the criteria
