Vulnerable (VU) species are considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. In September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 529 vulnerable mammalian species. [1] Of all evaluated mammalian species, 9.6% are listed as vulnerable. The IUCN also lists 53 mammalian subspecies as vulnerable.
On 30 January 2010, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species identified 9694 (4618 Animalia, 5075 Plantae, 1 Protista) Vulnerable species, subspecies and varieties, stocks and sub-populations. For IUCN lists of vulnerable species by kingdom , see:
Please stick to IUCN Red List when you add or remove species, subspecies, varieties, stocks or sub-populations. Binomial and trinomial nomenclature should be used, no more. To get more clarity, surname of scientific authority should be ignored.
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.
This is a complete list of least concern mammalian species and subspecies evaluated by the IUCN. Species and subspecies which have least concern subpopulations (or stocks) are indicated. Where possible common names for taxa are given while links point to the scientific name used by the IUCN.

Vulnerable habitat or species are monitored and can become increasingly threatened. Some species listed as "vulnerable" may be common in captivity, an example being the military macaw. In 2012 there were 5,196 animals and 6,789 plants classified as vulnerable, compared with 2,815 and 3,222, respectively, in 1998. [1]
As of July 2021, the IUCN lists 14,033 animal species and 6,635 plant species as least concern. [1] No least concern assessments have been made for taxa of other kingdoms.
