Endangered (EN) species are considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild. In September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 474 endangered mammalian species. [1] Of all evaluated mammalian species, 8.6% are listed as endangered. The IUCN also lists 86 mammalian subspecies as endangered.
[1] 56% of all evaluated mammalian species are listed as least concern. The IUCN also lists 127 mammalian subspecies as least concern. Of the subpopulations of mammals evaluated by the IUCN, one species subpopulation has been assessed as least concern. This is a complete list of least concern mammalian species and subspecies evaluated by the IUCN.
