Key to classifications of threatened categories:
Nationally endangered
Total population size is 1000 mature individuals or less and/or area of occupancy is 1 km² or less and/or there are 5 sub-populations or less with 100 or less individuals in the largest subpopulation.
There has been a 60% or greater decline in the total population over the last 50 years and/or 60% or greater loss of habitat in the last 50 years and/or 60% or greater decline predicted in the population in the next 10 years.
Nationally vulnerable
Total population size is 2500 mature individuals or less and/or area of occupancy is 10 km² or less and/or there are 10 sub-populations or less with 500 or less individuals in the largest subpopulation.
There has been a 30% or greater decline in the total population over the last 50 years and/or 30% or greater loss of habitat in the last 50 years and/or 30% or greater decline predicted in the population in the next 10 years.
Susceptible
Categories include Gradual and Serious decline. With these categories:
Total population size is 10 000 mature individuals or less and/or area of occupancy is 100 km² or less and/or there are 20 sub-populations or less with 2000 or less individuals in the largest subpopulation.
There has been a 10% or greater decline in the total population over the last 50 years and/or 10% or greater loss of habitat in the last 50 years and/or 10% or greater decline predicted in the population in the next 10 years.
While often still numerically numerous they are in slow decline and can be expected to enter into one of the higher threat classifications in the foreseeable future without conservation action.
Range restricted
categories include those taxa classified as Sparse. These taxa have very small, widely scattered populations. They are either naturally sparse or have become sparse as result of human activities.
