Mollusc species (IUCN, 2020.1)
  • 6941 extant species have been evaluated
  • 4953 of those are fully assessed[a]
  • 2972 are not threatened at present[b]
  • 1967 to 3955 are threatened[c]
  • 324 to 441 are extinct or extinct in the wild:
    • 311 extinct (EX) species[d]
    • 13 extinct in the wild (EW)
    • 117 possibly extinct [CR(PE)]
    • 0 possibly extinct in the wild [CR(PEW)]

  1. ^ excludes data deficient evaluations.
  2. ^ NT, LR/cd, LC.
  3. ^ Threatened comprises CR, EN and VU. Upper estimate additionally includes DD.
  4. ^ Chart omits extinct (EX) species
Near threatened (NT) species do not currently qualify for critically endangered (CR), endangered (EN) or vulnerable (VU) status, but are likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future, or are already close to qualifying.

No subpopulations of molluscs have been evaluated by the IUCN.
