Near Threatened
Though labeled a list, the IUCN Red List is a system of assessing the global conservation status of species that includes "Data Deficient" (DD) species – species for which more data and assessment is required before their situation may be determined – as well species comprehensively assessed by the IUCN's species assessment process.[12] The species under the index include: mammals, birds, amphibians, cycads, and corals. Those species of " <anchor>Near Threatened</anchor>" (NT) and " Least Concern" (LC) status have been assessed and found to have relatively robust and healthy populations, though these may be in decline. Unlike their more general use elsewhere, the List uses the terms "endangered species" and "threatened species" with particular meanings: "Endangered" (EN) species lie between " Vulnerable" (VU) and " Critically Endangered" (CR) species. In 2012, the IUCN Red List listed 3,079 animal and 2,655 plant species as endangered (EN) worldwide.[12]

A **near-threatened species** is a [species](/wiki/Species "Species") which has been [categorized](/wiki/Conservation_status "Conservation status") as " **Near Threatened**" ( **NT**) by the [International Union for Conservation of Nature](/wiki/International_Union_for_Conservation_of_Nature "International Union for Conservation of Nature") (IUCN) as that may be vulnerable to [endangerment](/wiki/Endangered_species "Endangered species") in the near future, but it does not currently qualify for the threatened status.[\[1\]](#cite_note-IUCN_FAQ-1)[\[2\]](#cite_note-IUCN_Summary_sheet-2)

The IUCN notes the importance of reevaluating near-threatened [taxa](/wiki/Taxon "Taxon") at appropriate intervals.

The rationale used for near-threatened taxa usually includes the criteria of [vulnerable](/wiki/Vulnerable_species "Vulnerable species") which are plausible or nearly met, such as reduction in numbers or range. Those designated since 2001 that depend on conservation efforts to not become threatened are no longer separately considered [conservation-dependent species](/wiki/Conservation-dependent_species "Conservation-dependent species").

## IUCN Categories and Criteria version 2.3

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Near-threatened_species&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: IUCN Categories and Criteria version 2.3")\]

[![Diagram of Lower Risk / near threatened in the older IUCN version 2.3, beside the former Lower Risk / conservation dependent subcategory.](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Status_iucn2.3_NT.svg/240px-Status_iucn2.3_NT.svg.png)](/wiki/File:Status_iucn2.3_NT.svg "Diagram of Lower Risk / near threatened in the older IUCN version 2.3, beside the former Lower Risk / conservation dependent subcategory.") Diagram of _Lower Risk / near threatened_ in the older IUCN version 2.3, beside the former _Lower Risk / conservation dependent_ subcategory.

Before 2001, the IUCN used the version 2.3 Categories and Criteria to assign [conservation status](/wiki/Conservation_status "Conservation status"), which included a separate category for [conservation-dependent](/wiki/Conservation-dependent "Conservation-dependent") species ("Conservation Dependent", LR/cd). With this category system, Near Threatened and Conservation Dependent were both subcategories of the category "Lower Risk". Taxa which were last evaluated before 2001 may retain their LR/cd or LR/nt status, although had the category been assigned with the same information today the species would be designated simply "Near Threatened (NT)" in either case.
