Thirty-eight of the 2,030 species are considered to be Extinct (EX), and one Extinct in the Wild (EW). Another 2,697 species are not considered to be threatened at present, being classified in the IUCN Categories of Near Threatened (NT) or Least Concern (LC), while sufficient information was not available to assess the status of an additional 1,533 species (IUCN Category Data Deficient (DD)). It is predicted that a significant proportion of these Data Deficient species are likely to be globally threatened. |
