Extinct
There is no reasonable doubt that the last individual has died.
SPECIES STANDARD / CONSERVATION
Read the status.
Then read the limits.
IUCN badges in the species library identify the cited global category and assessment year. REVIEW is a separate editorial flag for an assessment not yet verified. Neither is permission to collect, keep or trade an animal.
Trade decisions require a separate, current check of Indonesian law, CITES, destination-country rules, animal-health requirements, lawful provenance, and the exact captive line.
01 / IUCN CATEGORIESGLOBAL EXTINCTION RISK
Nine categories.
Different meanings.
CR, EN, and VU are collectively described by IUCN as threatened categories. DD is not a low-risk category, and NE does not mean safe.
Extinct in the Wild
Known only in cultivation, captivity, or as a naturalised population outside its past range.
Critically Endangered
Facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
Endangered
Facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
Vulnerable
Facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
Near Threatened
Close to qualifying for a threatened category, or likely to qualify in the near future.
Least Concern
Assessed against the criteria and not currently qualifying for CR, EN, VU, or NT.
Data Deficient
Available information is inadequate for a direct or indirect assessment of extinction risk.
Not Evaluated
The taxon has not yet been assessed against the IUCN Red List criteria.
Editorial review pending
REVIEW is a LIMNIC editorial flag, not an IUCN category. It means a current global assessment has not yet been verified for that catalogue record. It does not imply low risk, unrestricted collection, or permission to trade.
Definitions are concise editorial summaries. Use the official IUCN categories and criteria for authoritative wording. Open IUCN guidance.
02 / CITESINTERNATIONAL TRADE CONTROLS
Three appendices.
One separate system.
CITES listings regulate international trade in listed taxa. They do not replace national wildlife law, quarantine, customs, or destination-country import requirements.
Exceptional, tightly controlled trade
Species threatened with extinction. Commercial international trade in wild specimens is generally prohibited; limited movements require prior permits and must meet strict CITES conditions. Registered captive-breeding rules may apply to eligible specimens.
Trade with documented controls
Species not necessarily threatened with extinction, but whose trade must be controlled. An export permit or re-export certificate is generally required; the exporting authority must make the applicable legal-acquisition and non-detriment findings.
Protection requested by one Party
Species protected in at least one country that has asked other CITES Parties for assistance controlling trade. Documentation depends on the country of origin and may include export permits or certificates of origin.
Always verify the accepted taxon, population, annotation and current listing. Check the official CITES Appendices.
03 / INDONESIA
National protection
stands on its own.
Indonesian protected-species status is established under Indonesian law and must be checked independently from IUCN and CITES. A species can be nationally protected whether or not it appears in a particular IUCN category or CITES appendix.
For regulated or protected taxa, LIMNIC’s policy is to proceed only through applicable legal, traceable and documented channels. The website does not claim that a permit, registration or certificate is already held unless a verified project record expressly states it.
04 / DOCUMENTATIONSPECIES + ORIGIN + DESTINATION
No single badge
clears a shipment.
The required document set is determined for the exact species, source, shipment, route and destination—not by conservation status alone.
For every proposed shipment
- Confirmed scientific identity and lawful provenance
- Indonesian export and customs requirements
- Fish quarantine inspection and health certification where required
- Destination-country import, biosecurity and wildlife rules
- Carrier packaging and live-animal transport requirements
When the taxon is regulated
- Applicable Indonesian wildlife licences or approvals
- CITES export permit, re-export certificate or other required CITES document
- Evidence supporting legal acquisition and captive origin where applicable
- Any destination permit required before departure
