Vulnerable

The US EPA's information about protecting endangered species from pesticides.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Zoological Society of London recently released a list of the 100 Most Threatened Species.

We have an urgent window of opportunity in which to step up and pull back some of the world's most splendid animals from the brink of extinction.

At the World Conservation Congress in Jeju, Korea, a group of conservationists have released a list of the 100 most threatened species, which are likely to go extinct if action isn't taken.

Experts on rare and threatened species issue a warning that lemurs and slipper orchids are at risk of widespread extinction.

This category lists the species considered as vulnerable species by the IUCN Red List.

Vulnerable animals, a species is vulnerable if its population is decreasing because of threatening processes, or its population has been seriously depleted and its protection is not secured, or its population, while abundant, is at risk because of threatening processes, or its population is low or localised or depends on limited habitat that is at risk because of threatening processes.

An animal species that is likely to become endangered is called Vulnerable. A vulnerable animal species is often at risk due to loss of habitat or declining population. Read more information about vulnerable animals.

A vulnerable species is one which has been categorised by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as likely to become endangered unless the circumstances threatening its survival and reproduction improve.
