Statut de conservation UICN

La liste rouge mondiale de l’UICN des espèces menacées

Depuis les années 1960, l’Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature publie la Liste rouge des espèces menacées. Les espèces sont classées dans des catégories indiquant le degré de menace auquel elles sont confrontées.

Not rated

List the species that have not yet been assessed against the Red List criteria.

Insufficient data

Includes species for which the best available data are insufficient to determine, either directly or indirectly, their risk of extinction.

Minor concern

List the species that are at low risk of extinction in the region in question.

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.

Vulnerable

Includes species threatened with extinction. Relatively high risk.

Endangered

Includes species threatened with extinction. High risk.

Critically endangered

Includes species threatened with extinction. Very high risk.

Extinct in the wild

Refers to species that survive only in captivity or as part of a naturalized population.

Off

A species of which there is no doubt that the last individual has died.
