Image 19. Conservation Statutes categories established for the IUCN Red List. In order to establish
a conservation statue, it is necessary to have adequate data about specie abundance and
distribution. Therefore, not all species are evaluated or have all the necessary data to establish a
conservation statue. Extinction probability increases from Least Concern to the right (bottom).
