Mammalian species (IUCN, 2015.4)
  • 5502 species have been evaluated
  • 4712 are fully assessed (excludes DD)
  • 3435 are not threatened at present (LC, NT)

As of February 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 324 near threatened mammalian species.[1] 5.9% of all evaluated mammalian species are listed as near threatened. The IUCN also lists 29 mammalian subspecies as near threatened.

Of the subpopulations of mammals evaluated by the IUCN, one species subpopulation and one subspecies subpopulation have been assessed as near threatened.

This is a complete list of near threatened mammalian species and subspecies as evaluated by the IUCN. Species or subspecies which have near threatened subpopulations (or stocks) are indicated. Where possible common names for taxa are given while links point to the scientific name used by the IUCN.
