Arthropod species (IUCN, 2015.4)
- 9018 species have been evaluated
- 6285 are fully assessed (excludes DD)
- 4222 are not threatened at present (LC, NT, LR/cd)
- 1980 are threatened (CR, EN, VU)
- 83 to 162 are extinct or extinct in the wild (EX, EW, CR(PE), CR(PEW))
Near Threatened (NT) species do not currently qualify for Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN) or Vulnerable (VU), but are likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future, or are already close to qualifying.
As of February 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 365 near threatened arthropod species.[1] 4.0% of all evaluated arthropod species are listed as near threatened. The IUCN also lists seven arthropod subspecies as near threatened.
