Endangered
A species is Endangered when best available evidence indicates that it is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild due
to:
• Reduced populations (50 to 70 %) in the last 10 years
• Limited geographic range (less than 5,000 km 2)
• Known existence at no more than five locations
• Population is estimated at fewer than 2,500 individuals
• Probability of extinction at least 20 % in 20 years.
Vulnerable
A species is Vulnerable when best available evidence indicates that it is facing a high extinction risk in the wild due to:
• Population reduction of 30 to 50 % over the last 10 years
• Range of occurrence less than 20,000 km 2
• Population size estimated at less than 10,000 mature individuals
• Probability of extinction less than 10 % within 100 years.
