List of endangered arthropods
In July 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 616 endangered arthropod species. Of all evaluated arthropod, 6.5% species are listed as endangered. The IUCN also lists 27 arthropod subspecies as endangered. No subpopulations of arthropods have been evaluated by the IUCN. For a species to be considered endangered by the IUCN it must meet certain quantitative criteria which are designed to classify taxa facing "a very high risk of extinction".
