Image:Status iucn3.1 NT.svg Near Threatened (NT or LR/nt), is close to qualifying for or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future. Image:Status iucn2.3 NT.svg
No longer a Red List category Conservation Dependent (LR/cd), the focus of a continuing taxon-specific or habitat-specific conservation programme targeted towards the taxon in question, the cessation of which would result in the taxon qualifying for one of the threatened categories below within a period of five years.
