Mammalian species (IUCN, 2016-2)
  • 5453 extant species have been evaluated
  • 4670 of those are fully assessed[lower-alpha 1]
  • 3460 are not threatened at present[lower-alpha 2]
  • 1208 to 1991 are threatened[lower-alpha 3]
  • 85 to 115 are extinct or extinct in the wild:
    • 83 extinct (EX) species[lower-alpha 4]
    • 2 extinct in the wild (EW)

  3. ↑ Threatened comprises CR, EN and VU. Upper estimate additionally includes DD.
  4. ↑ Chart omits extinct (EX) species
Near Threatened (NT) species do not currently qualify for Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN) or Vulnerable (VU), but are likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future, or are already close to qualifying.

As of September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 343 near threatened mammalian species.[1] 6.2% of all evaluated mammalian species are listed as near threatened. The IUCN also lists 31 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 evaluated by the IUCN. Species and 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.
