The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global extinction risk status of animal, fungus and plant species. Open to all, it is used by governmental bodies, non-profit organisations, businesses and individuals.
Currently, there are more than 163,000 species on The IUCN Red List, with more than 45,300 species threatened with extinction, including 41% of amphibians, 37% of sharks and rays, 36% of reef building corals, 34% of conifers, 26% of mammals and 12% of birds.

These tables include number of species tagged as 'Possibly Extinct' (CR (PE)) and 'Possibly Extinct in the Wild' (CR (PEW)). These figures are included to give an upper estimate for total number of recently extinct species on The IUCN Red List.
