How the IUCN Red List Classifies Extinction Risk

State

The IUCN Red List orders extinction risk from least concern through critically endangered and extinct, intermediate categories included, using size, trend, and range.

A species with a small, declining population and shrinking range classifies well up the ordering.

Watch for

Assuming every criterion must be met is the error — meeting one threshold alone suffices.
