moth, sawfish, a few species of owls, frogs like the African reed frog,
and the Slender Loris are listed as endangered. The survival of these
animals is in extreme threat in the next ten years.
Vulnerable: The IUCN groups the animals that face a threat but can
be conserved in the near future as vulnerable. This group includes the
white-headed vulture, the alligator lizard, the lemur, the shark ray,
the butterflyfish, the common hippopotamus, the giant gecko, and a
few crocodile species. These animals might soon be included in the
endangered or critically endangered categories if steps are not taken
immediately to protect them.
Near Threatened: Species that are not vulnerable, endangered, or
critically endangered but might fall into any of those categories soon
are classified as near threatened.
Least Concern: Species that are widely found in plentiful numbers are
classified under least concern.
Note: The conservation status
provided in this book is not solely
based on the IUCN Red List. For
some creatures, national and local
data have been used.
