an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. |

EN
Endangered
A taxon is Endangered when the best available evidence indicates
that it meets any of the criteria A to E for Endangered,
and it is therefore considered to be facing a very high risk of
extinction in the wild. |

VU
Vulnerable
A taxon is Vulnerable when the best available evidence indicates
that it meets any of the criteria A to E for Vulnerable,
and it is therefore considered to be facing a high risk of
extinction in the wild. |

against the criteria but does not qualify for Critically Endangered,
Endangered or Vulnerable now, but is close to qualifying
for or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the
near future. |
