Factors such as habitat destruction, pollution, overhunting, intentional extinction, and the introduction of competing alien species contribute to its endangerment. Criteria include a population size decrease of at least 70% in the last ten years or three generations, an extent of occurrence less than 5,000 km2, and other specific population size estimations.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Vulnerable (VU)<\/strong><ul><li>A taxon is considered Vulnerable when evidence suggests it meets criteria indicating vulnerability, such as a population reduction exceeding 50% over the last ten years, a population size less than 10,000 mature individuals, or a 10% likelihood of extinction in the wild within the next 100 years, signifying it is on the verge of extinction.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Near Threatened (NT)<\/strong><ul><li>A taxon is categorized as Near Threatened if, while not currently qualifying for higher threat categories, it is close to or likely to meet the criteria for a threatened category in the near future.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Least Concern (LC)<\/strong><ul><li>Least Concern is assigned to taxa that do not meet the criteria for Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, or Near Threatened.
