Summary

Graphic diagram showing the 2008 New Zealand Threat Classification System categories, used by the New Zealand Department of Conservation. These categories replace the 2002 NZTCS.

**At Risk categories**
2002 Categories	Description	2008 Categories	2022 Categories
	Range Restricted (RR): small population only found in a particular habitat or area.	Now a qualifier, not a NZTCS category	Now a qualifier, not a NZTCS category
	Sparse (SP); rare and localised.	Now a qualifier, not a NZTCS category	Now a qualifier, not a NZTCS category
	Gradual Decline (GD): a moderate to large population with a small to moderate rate of decline.	No longer a NZTCS category	No longer a NZTCS category
	Serious Decline (SD): a moderate to large population with moderate to large predicted decline.	No longer a NZTCS category	No longer a NZTCS category
—	Naturally Uncommon (NU): naturally occurring as small or widely-scattered populations.
—	Relict (REL): occupying less than 10% of their former range, but stable or increasing.
—	Recovering (R): previously declining, but now showing an ongoing or predicted increase.		No longer a NZTCS category; moved to Nationally Increasing
—	Declining (D): buffered by a large population or a slow decline rate, but may become Threatened in the future.

**Threatened categories**
2002 Categories	Description	2008 Categories
—	Nationally Increasing (NI): previously declining, but now showing an ongoing or predicted increase.	—
	Nationally Vulnerable (VU): a small or localised population facing gradual decline.
	Nationally Endangered (NE): a small to moderate population declining at a moderate to high rate.
	Nationally Critical (NC): a very small (less than 250 individuals) or very localised population, or one rapidly declining, or both.

**Other categories**
2002 Categories	Description	2008 Categories	2022 Categories
	Not Threatened (NT): an assessed native NZ species that does not qualify as At Risk or Threatened.
	Data Deficient (DD): insufficient information is available to make as assessment on conservation status.
	Extinct (EX): there is no reasonable doubt that no individuals exist. For these lists only species that have become extinct since 1840 are listed.
