Very little direct evidence exists on the Endangered Bornean peacock-pheasant, the subject of a recent questionnaire survey. © Lynx Edicions Box 2.3 Criteria for Endangered (EN) A taxon is Endangered when it is not Critically Endangered, but is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future, as defined by any of the following criteria (A to E): A. Population reduction in the form of either of the following: 1. An observed, estimated, inferred or suspected reduction of at least 50% over the last 10 years or three generations, whichever is the longer, based on (and specifying) any of the following: a) direct observation b) an index of abundance appropriate for the taxon c) a decline in area of occupancy, extent of occurrence, and/or quality of habitat d) actual or potential levels of exploitation e) the effects of introduced taxa, hybridisation, pathogens, pollutants, competitors, or parasites 2. A reduction of at least 50%, projected or suspected to be met within the next 10 years or three generations, whichever is the longer, based on (and specifying) any of (b), (c), (d), or (e) above. B. Extent of occurrence estimated to be less than 5,000km 2 or area of occupancy estimated to be less than 500km 2 , and estimates indicating any two of the following: 1. Severely fragmented or known to exist at no more than five locations. 2. Continuing decline, observed, inferred, or projected, in any of the following: a) extent of occurrence b) area of occupancy c) area, extent, and/or quality of habitat d) number of locations or subpopulations e) number of mature individuals 3. Extreme fluctuations in any of the following: a) extent of occurrence b) area of occupancy c) number of locations or subpopulations d) number of mature individuals C. Population estimated to number less than 2,500 mature individuals and either: 1. An estimated continuing decline of at least 20% within five years or two generations, whichever is longer, or 2. A continuing decline, observed, projected, or inferred, in numbers of mature individuals and population structure in the form of either: a) severely fragmented (i.e., no subpopulation estimated to contain more than 250 mature individuals) b) all individuals are in a single subpopulation D. Population estimated to number less than 250 mature individuals. E. Quantitative analysis showing the probability of extinction in the wild is at least 20% within 20 years or five generations, whichever is the longer. 18
