Question

What are all the categories of threatened species ? explain all with examples?

Answer 1

This act has six categories; extinct, extinct in the wild, critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, and conservation dependent, defined in Section 179 of the act, and could be summarised as; ... "Vulnerable" - "high risk of extinction in the wild in medium-term future"Species that are not a threatened species, but are still a concern, can be put into groups of Near Threatened, Least Concern, and Conservation Dependent.

...

They put threatened species into three groups, each group in more danger than the next:

Vulnerable.

Endangered.

Critically endangered.

Although threatened and vulnerable may be used interchangeably when discussing IUCN categories, the term threatened is generally used to refer to the three categories (critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable), while vulnerable is used to refer to the least at risk of those three categories.
