Vulnerable animals

Vulnerable is the first of the three threatened categories on the IUCN Red List. An animal is listed here when its population has fallen sharply, when its range has shrunk, or when the number of breeding adults has dropped below a set threshold. It means a high risk of extinction in the wild if the pressures on it continue unchanged.
