Conservation Statuses
• Extinct (EX) – No known living individuals
Extinct in the wild (EW) – Known only to survive in captivity, or as a naturalized population outside its
historic range.

• Critically endangered (CR) – Extremely high risk of extinction in the wild

Endangered (EN) – High risk of extinction in the wild

• Vulnerable (VU) – High risk of endangerment in the wild

• Near threatened (NT) – Likely to become endangered in the near future

• Conservation Dependent (CD) – Low risk; is conserved to prevent being near threatened, certain events
may lead it to being a higher risk level

• Least concern (LC) – Lowest risk; does not qualify for a higher risk category. Widespread and abundant
taxa are included in this category.

• Data deficient (DD) – Not enough data to make an assessment of its risk of extinction
Not evaluated (NE) – Has not yet been evaluated against the criteria.
Animal extinction
occurs when there are no
more individuals of that
species alive in the wild
anywhere in the world.

Global consequences
 Consequences of the destruction of animals

Specific consequences

Mass extermination of sparrows in

China in the middle of the 20th century.
Then this led to an increase in the
number of insects that sparrows ate. As
a result, the crops died, the rapid
growth and spread of diseases carried
by these insects began, and other
negative consequences for the huge
state and the integral ecosystem.
