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.
