El Oro Parakeet (Pyrrhura orcesi) has a very small population. Remaining habitat is fragmented, and both range and population are thought to be declining. As a result, the species qualifies as Endangered. Available at: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/22685851/181549899

Anegada Rock Iguana
Although it is believed the Anegada Rock Iguana (Cyclura pinguis) population size has increased somewhat since the headstarting programme began releasing subadults, the habitat is continuing to be degraded. The significant population reduction (> 80%) for this species occurred over a much longer time period than three generations (66 years) ago due to the introduction…
Cuban Crocodile
Cuban Crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) is endemic to Cuba. The species is assessed as Critically Endangered (CR A2cde), keeping the same status as in the previous assessment (2008). Population decline is still estimated at >80% over the last three generations (approximately 75 years). This reduction in population size is based on the decline in habitat extent…
Pied Tamarin
Pied Tamarin (Saguinus bicolor) is considered Critically Endangered due to a projected population reduction of 80% or more in the next 18 years (three generations) due to serious multiple threats suffered within a very concentrated range in and around the city of Manaus: deforestation and habitat fragmentation related to expanding rural settlements and agriculture, livestock…
Mangrove Finch
Mangrove Finch (Geospiza heliobates) has an extremely small, severely fragmented range, and only two viable subpopulations. Recent surveys suggest that the number of locations and mature individuals are both declining significantly, and consequently it qualifies as Critically Endangered.

Chilean Woodstar
Chilean Woodstar (Eulidia yarrellii) is classified as Critically Endangered based on evidence that it has undergone an extremely rapid population decline. Urgent research and targeted conservation actions are now required to understand, halt and reverse this decline. Available at: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/22688244/181468935
Mojave Desert Tortoise
Mojave Desert Tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) was assessed as Critically Endangered A2bce+A4bce based on population reduction (decreasing density), habitat loss of over 80% over three generations (90 years), including past reductions and predicted future declines, as well as the effects of disease (upper respiratory tract disease / mycoplasmosis). Available at: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/97246272/3150871
Vancouver Island Marmot
Vancouver Island Marmot (Marmota vancouverensis) is listed as Critically Endangered because in 2016 it was estimated that there were between 90-130 individuals occurring in two subpopulations in the wild. Its area of occupancy is less than 10 km², and there has been extensive clear cutting of its forest habitat. A population reduction of greater than…
Scarlet Macaw
Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the…
Savannah Sparrow
Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis) has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the…
