∙ 13y agoThat last answer wasn't the best! But anyway, I'm doing a school project and I found this on the levels of endangerment:
LEVELS OF ENDANGERMENT:
EX EW CR EN VU NT LC
(EV-VU are all Threatened.. btw)
- Least Concerned (LC) - low risk
- Near Threatened (NT) - likely to qualify as a threatened species in the near future
- Threatened
- Vulnerable (VU) - high risk of extinction in the wild
- Endangered (EN) - very high risk of extinction in the wild
- Critically Endangered (CR) - extremely high risk of extinction in the wild
- Extinct in the Wild (EW) - known only to survive in cultivation or captivity
- Extinct (EX) - last individual has died
Hope this helps, even if it doesn't, it's alot more helpful than the last answer!
