2. Critically Endangered Species - refers to a species of subspecies that is facing extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future;

3. Endangered Species - refers to a species of subspecies that is not critically endangered but whose survival in the wild is unlikely if the causal factors continue operating;

4. Vulnerable Species - refers to a species of subspecies that is not critically endangered nor endangered but is under threat from adverse factors throughout their range and is likely to move to the endangered category in the near future;

5. Other Threatened Species - refers to a species of subspecies that is not critically endangered, endangered nor vulnerable but is under threat from adverse factors, such as over collection, throughout their range and is likely to move to the vulnerable category in the near future;

6. Other Wildlife Species - refers to non-threatened species that have the tendency to become threatened due to predation and destruction of habitat or other similar causes as may be listed by the Secretary upon the recommendation of the National Wildlife Management Committee.
