Conservation status

Least Concern animals

Least Concern does not mean an animal is thriving everywhere. It means the species has been assessed and does not currently meet the criteria for a threatened category. Widespread and abundant animals sit here, and so do some that are declining but still far from the thresholds. It is the most common outcome of a Red List assessment.

All 41 Least Concern animals in the library, from the aardvark to the zorilla. Most of them live in Africa and Asia.
