These terms are defined by and used for each specific list's purposes and do not always translate directly from nation to nation or list to list.

It is not a who, but a what. It is the number of the population that determines the threat of extinction of an animal. There are five levels of threats. 1) Extinct- The animal is thought to be non-existent in the wild, and is maybe existent in captivity. 2) Critically Endangered- The animal is at high risk of extinction and has a quickly declining population or an extremely low population. 3) Endangered- At a considerable risk of extinction. The animal has a low population, a declining population, or a limited range. 4) Vulnerable- Animal at risk of extinction, but not on an immediate timescale. This is, in many cases, because of threatened habitats. 5) Lower Risk- The species is monitored, but not considered threatened.
