- ↑ Chart omits extinct (EX) species
Near Threatened (NT) species do not currently qualify for Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN) or Vulnerable (VU), but are likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future, or are already close to qualifying.
As of July 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 301 near threatened insect species.[1] 5.0% of all evaluated insect species are listed as near threatened. No subpopulations of insects have been evaluated by the IUCN.
