Includes critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable plants and animal species as a percentage of the total animal and plants species in a country. |

For certain amphibian species endemic to Brazil, there was no time for the Global Amphibian Assessment (GAA) Coordinating Team and the experts on the species in Brazil to reach agreement on the Red List Categories. The data for amphibians included in the data displayed here are those that were agreed at the GAA Brazil workshop in April 2003. However, a subsequent GAA check found that many of the assessments were inconsistent with the approach adopted elsewhere in the world, and a "consistent Red List Category" was also assigned to these species. Therefore, data displayed here may not match data in the Global Species Assessment. |
