The atlas
Every species has a story to tell.
Open any profile to read how the animal lives, what it needs, and the pressures it faces.
Reading the labels
What conservation status means.
We use the categories of the IUCN Red List, the global standard for measuring extinction risk.
Least Concern
Widespread and abundant. Still worth watching, because common species can decline quickly.
Vulnerable
Facing a high risk of extinction in the wild without action to reduce threats.
Endangered
A very high risk of extinction. Populations have fallen sharply or are severely fragmented.
Critically Endangered
The highest risk category for wild species. Immediate protection is needed.
