Extinct (EX): No reasonable doubt that the last individual of the species has died. Extinct in the Wild (EW): Species only survives in cultivation, captivity, or as a naturalized population well outside of its native range. Critically Endangered (CR): Species faces extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. Endangered (EN): Species faces very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future. Vulnerable (VU): Species faces high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future. Lower Risk (LR): Species does not satisfy criteria for above categories, but may be near threatened or dependent on conservation activities for survival.
