Brazil has the largest mammal diversity in the world, with more than 600 described
species and more likely to be discovered. According to the
International Union for Conservation of Nature, 66 of these species are endangered, and 40% of the threatened
taxa belong to the
primate group.
No reasonable doubt that the last individual has died.
EW
Extinct in the wild
Known only to survive in captivity or as a naturalized populations well outside its previous range.
CR
Critically endangered
The species is in imminent risk of extinction in the wild.
EN
Endangered
The species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
VU
Vulnerable
The species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
NT
Near threatened
The species does not meet any of the criteria that would categorise it as risking extinction but it is likely to do so in the future.
LC
Least concern
There are no current identifiable risks to the species.
DD
Data deficient
There is inadequate information to make an assessment of the risks to this species.
Some species were assessed using an earlier set of criteria. Species assessed using this system have the following instead of least concern categories:
LR/lc
Lower risk/least concern
Species for which there are no identifiable risks.
