Endangered (EN) species are considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild. In December 2019, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 460 endangered avian species. [1] Of all evaluated avian species, 4% are listed as endangered. No subpopulations of birds have been evaluated by the IUCN.
Additionally 55 avian species (0.48% of those evaluated) are listed as data deficient, meaning there is insufficient information for a full assessment of conservation status. As these species typically have small distributions and/or populations, they are intrinsically likely to be threatened, according to the IUCN. [ 3 ]
