Vulnerable (VU) species are considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

The IUCN also lists 53 mammalian subspecies as vulnerable.
The Red List Index (RLI), based on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, is an indicator of the changing state of global biodiversity.It defines the conservation status of major species groups, and measures trends in extinction risk over time.
