As of July 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) listed 238 conservation dependent species.[1] That was 0.29% of all evaluated species listed at the time. The IUCN also listed seven subspecies and five varieties as conservation dependent.

A visualization of the categories in the no-longer used "IUCN 1994 Categories & Criteria (version 2.3)", with conservation dependent (LR/cd) highlighted. The category was folded into the near threatened (NT) category in the 2001 revision, but some species which have not been re-evaluated retain the assessment.

As of the 2024.2 version of the Red List, the IUCN lists 126 conservation dependent species, seven plant subspecies, five plant varieties, and one animal species subpopulation as having been assessed as conservation dependent.[2]

The conservation dependent category is part of the IUCN 1994 Categories & Criteria (version 2.3), which is no longer used in evaluation of taxa, but which persists in the IUCN Red List for taxa evaluated prior to 2001, when version 3.1 was first used. Using the 2001 (v3.1) system these taxa are classed as near threatened, but those that have not been re-evaluated remain with the conservation dependent category.

This is a complete list of conservation dependent species and subspecies evaluated by the IUCN. Species and subspecies which have conservation dependent subpopulations are also indicated. However, as updated versions of the IUCN Red List are released, this list will need to be updated to match the most current version.
