Includes species for which the best available data are insufficient to determine, either directly or indirectly, their risk of extinction.
LC
Minor concern
List the species that are at low risk of extinction in the region in question.
NT
Near Threatened
Includes species that are close to meeting the quantitative thresholds for threatened species and that could become threatened if specific conservation measures are not taken.
VU
Vulnerable
Includes species threatened with extinction. Relatively high risk.
EN
Endangered
Includes species threatened with extinction. High risk.
CR
Critically endangered
Includes species threatened with extinction. Very high risk.
