The following tags are used to highlight the conservation status of each species as estimated by IUCN :
- extinct species in the wild
- extinct in the wild, whose representatives survived only in captivity
- endangered species (in critical condition)
- endangered species
- vulnerable species
- species close to vulnerable situations
- species at least risk
- species for which a threat assessment is lacking data
Some species have been evaluated using earlier criteria. Species evaluated using this system have the following categories instead of threatened and least dangerous:
| Lr / cd | Lower risk / conservation dependent | Species that were the focus of conservation programs and may have moved into a higher risk category if the program was discontinued. |
| LR / nt | Lower risk / near threatened | Species that are close to being classified as vulnerable but are not the subject of conservation programs. |
| Lr / lc | Lower risk / least concern | Species for which there are no identifiable risks. |
