Study Notes
Conservation Dependent Species
- A species is considered 'Conservation Dependent' if it relies entirely on continuing conservation efforts to prevent it from becoming threatened with extinction.
Classification and Criteria
- The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categorizes species as 'Conservation Dependent'.
- The 'Conservation Dependent' category is included in the IUCN Categories & Criteria version 2.3.
Classification System
- Under the 2001 (version 3.1) system, 'Conservation Dependent' species are classified as CR (Critically Endangered) or EN (Endangered) if conservation efforts cease.
- Without conservation efforts, 'Conservation Dependent' species would be threatened with extinction.
Purpose of Conservation Programs
- The purpose of a continuing species-specific and/or habitat-specific conservation program is to prevent 'Conservation Dependent' species from becoming threatened with extinction.
Status Change
- The status of a conservation-dependent species can change if conservation efforts are successful or cease.
Current Classification
- Under the 2001 (version 3.1) system, conservation-dependent species are classified as CR (Critically Endangered) or EN (Endangered) if conservation efforts cease.
