Frequently asked questions

How many threatened species are in Indonesia?
Indonesia has 2,603 threatened species recorded on SpeciesRadar — 473 of those are Critically Endangered, facing an extremely high risk of extinction. The figures combine IUCN Red List data with national red list assessments where available.
How many Critically Endangered, Endangered, and Vulnerable species does Indonesia have?
Of the 2,603 threatened species in Indonesia, 473 are Critically Endangered, 995 are Endangered, and 1,135 are Vulnerable. Together these three IUCN Red List categories make up the "threatened" total.
What is the most endangered species in Indonesia?
Among the 473 Critically Endangered species in Indonesia, Xenopoecilus sarasinorum is one of the most at-risk — featured prominently on the country dashboard. The full list of Critically Endangered species is filterable on the Species tab.
What protected areas exist in Indonesia?
SpeciesRadar does not yet catalogue protected areas for Indonesia. Where available, protected-area data is drawn from the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) and national designations.
Which animal and plant groups are most threatened in Indonesia?
The most affected groups in Indonesia, by number of threatened species, are plants (1,399), fishes (382), and mammals (223). The full taxonomic breakdown is shown on the country dashboard.
What are the biggest threats to wildlife in Indonesia?
The leading threats to threatened species in Indonesia are logging & wood harvesting, annual & perennial non-timber crops, fishing & harvesting aquatic resources, and housing & urban areas. Each threat is mapped to the species it affects in the country's threat breakdown.
How many threatened species are found only in Indonesia?
Indonesia has 1,239 threatened species that are endemic — found nowhere else on Earth. Because their entire global population depends on this one country, they are especially vulnerable to local habitat loss.
How many of Indonesia's threatened species have declining populations?
1,397 of Indonesia's threatened species have populations that are still declining. Reversing these trends is the central focus of the conservation work the country dashboard tracks.
How does Indonesia compare to other countries for threatened species?
Indonesia ranks #3 of 253 countries by number of threatened species, and accounts for roughly 4.67% of all threatened species tracked worldwide. Threat is geographically concentrated, so a high rank reflects both rich biodiversity and intense pressure on it.
Where does the data for Indonesia come from, and can I download it?
SpeciesRadar draws on the IUCN Red List, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the World Database on Protected Areas, and national red lists. Every table on the Indonesia profile — species, national red list, and protected areas — can be downloaded as a CSV spreadsheet or a branded PDF report.
