The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species. It has established a document for listing the rare and endangered species of plants, animals, fungi and also a few local species that exist within a state or country. According to this list, the status of organisms listed in the table are: S.No Type Example 1. Vulnerable species Clouded leopard, Musk deer 2. Critically endangered Great Indian Bustard, Hawaiian monk seal 3. Threatened Three-banded armadillo (Brazil) Short-eared rabbit (Sumatra) Vulnerable species: These are species susceptible to endangerment. Critically endangered species: These are species facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Threatened species: These species are likely to become endangered species within the foreseeable future.
