Biology:List of near threatened molluscs

From HandWiki
Short description: none
Near threatened (NT) species do not currently qualify for critically endangered (CR), endangered (EN) or vulnerable (VU) status, but are likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future, or are already close to qualifying.

In September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 535 near threatened mollusc species.[1] Of all evaluated mollusc species, 7.4% are listed as near threatened. The IUCN also lists nine mollusc subspecies as near threatened.

No subpopulations of molluscs have been evaluated by the IUCN.
