More specifically, bird species with a population reduction of ≥30% observed, estimated, inferred, or suspected over three generations or 10 years (and where the causes of reduction may not have ceased OR may not be understood)
Endangered  EN A category of threat status assigned based on decline trend, population size, and/or expert consensus. More specifically, bird species with a population reduction of ≥50% observed, estimated, inferred, or suspected over three generations or 10 years (and where the causes of reduction may not have ceased OR may not be understood)
Critically Endangered   CR A category of threat status assigned based on decline trend, population size, and/or expert consensus. More specifically, bird species with a population reduction of ≥80% observed, estimated, inferred, or suspected or suspected over three generations or 10 years, AND/OR the national population is assessed to be extremely small (<100 individuals)
Presumed Nationally Extinct   NEx The species is extinct in Singapore but it still survives outside Singapore. A species is presumed nationally extinct if it has not been recorded within the last 30 years
Data Deficient  DD Taxa for which information is not adequate to make an informed evaluation
Not Applicable  NA Taxa not eligible for evaluation at the national level (mainly introduced taxa) i.e. The species is not a native to Singapore (e.g. Introduced) and therefore not evaluated
Not Evaluated  NE Taxa that have not yet been evaluated against the criteria (mainly because the species is not a resident or a regular migrant/non-breeding visitor in the past 30 years)
