1
|
Extinction risk
|
Current IUCN Red List category. [Data obtained from the IUCN Red List.]
|
Critically Endangered (CR)
|
|
|
2
|
Possibly extinct
|
Is there a strong possibility that this species might be extinct in the wild?
|
Yes / probably
|
|
|
3
|
Phylogenetic significance
|
The taxon’s Evolutionary Distinctiveness (ED) score, as generated by the ZSL EDGE program. (These data are not editable by Assessors).
|
ED value 20 - 50
|
|
|
4
|
Protected habitat
|
Is a population of at least 50% of the individuals of the taxon included within a well-managed or reliably protected area or areas?
|
No / unlikely
|
|
|
5
|
Habitat for reintroduction, conservation translocation or supplementation
|
Does enough well-managed and reliably protected habitat exist, either within or outside of currently protected areas that is suitable for reintroduction, conservation translocation or supplementation?
|
|
|
|
6
|
Previous reintroductions
|
Have reintroduction or translocation attempts been made in the past for this species?
|
|
|
|
7
|
Threat mitigation
|
Are the threats facing the taxon, including any new and emerging threats not considered in the IUCN Red List, potentially reversible?
|
Threats cannot / will not be reversed in time to prevent further decline / extinction
|
|
|
8
|
Over-collection from the wild
|
Is the taxon suffering from unsustainable collection within its natural range, either for food, for the pet trade or for any other reason, which threatens the species’ continued persistence in the wild?
|
No / unlikely
|
|
|
9
|
Population recovery
|
Is the known population of this species in the wild large enough to recover naturally, without ex situ intervention if threats are mitigated?
|
Unknown
|
|
|
10
|
Biological distinctiveness
|
Does the taxon exhibit, for example, a distinctive reproductive mode, behaviour, aspect of morphology or physiology, within the Order to which it belongs (e.g. Anura, Passeriformes etc.)?
|
No aspect of biology known to be exceptional
|
|
|
11
|
Cultural/socio-economic importance
|
Does the taxon have a special human cultural value (e.g. as a national or regional symbol, in a historic context, featuring in traditional stories) or economic value (e.g. food, traditional medicine, tourism) within its natural range or in a wider global context?
|
No
|
|
|
12
|
Scientific importance
|
Is the species vital to current or planned research other than species-specific ecology/biology/conservation? (e.g. human medicine, climate change, environmental pollutants and conservation science), within the Order to which it belongs (e.g. Anura, Passeriformes etc.)?
|
No research dependent on this species
|
|
|
13
|
Ex situ research
|
Does conserving this species (or closely related species) in situ depend upon research that can be most easily carried out ex situ?
|
No
|
|
|
14
|
Husbandry analog
|
Do the biological and ecological attributes of this species make it suitable for developing husbandry regimes for more threatened related species? i.e. could this species be used in captivity to help to develop husbandry and breeding protocols which could be used for a similar, but more endangered species at a later stage?
|
No
|
|
|
15
|
Captive breeding
|
Has this species been successfully bred and/or maintained in captivity?
|
Not held in captivity to date
|
|
|
16
|
Conservation education/ecotourism potential
|
Is the species especially diurnal, active or colourful, or is there an interesting or unusual aspect of its ecology that make it particularly suitable to be an educational ambassador for conservation of the species in the range country, either in zoos or aquariums or within ecotourism activities?
|
No
|
|
|
17
|
Mandate
|
Is there an existing conservation mandate recommending the ex situ conservation of this taxon?
|
Yes
|
|
|
18
|
Range State approval
|
If an ex situ initiative was proposed for this species, would it be supported (and approved) by the range State (either within the range State or out-of-country ex situ)?
|
Yes / probably
|
|
|
19
|
Founder specimens
|
Are sufficient animals of the taxon available or potentially available (from wild or captive sources) to initiate an ex situ program, if one was recommended?
|
No / unlikely
|
|
|
20
|
Taxonomic status
|
Has a complete taxonomic analysis of the species in the wild been carried out, to fully understand the functional unit you wish to conserve (i.e. have species limits been determined)?
