Kopsia larutensis is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae. It is found in Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo and Thailand.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is an inventory of the global conservation status and extinction risk of biological species. A series of Regional Red Lists, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit, are also produced by countries and organizations.
The Ichthyophiidae are the family of Asiatic tailed caecilians or fish caecilians found in South and Southeast Asia as well as southernmost China.
The conservation status of a group of organisms indicates whether the group still exists and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats. Various systems of conservation status are in use at international, multi-country, national and local levels, as well as for consumer use such as sustainable seafood advisory lists and certification. The two international systems are by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
The large cuckooshrike is a species of cuckooshrike found in the Indian Subcontinent and depending on the taxonomic treatment used, Southeast Asia. The species has had a long and varied taxonomic treatment, being closely related to forms across Southeast Asia, with some authors using the name Indian cuckooshrike. The species and subspecies classifications vary widely across sources and are yet to be resolved unambiguously.
A species that is extinct in the wild (EW) is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as only consisting of living members kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range. Classification requires exhaustive surveys conducted within the species' known habitat with consideration given to seasonality, time of day, and life cycle. Once a species is classified as EW, the only way for it to be downgraded is through reintroduction.
Carpoxylon macrospermum is a species of palm tree endemic to Vanuatu, and the only species in the genus Carpoxylon.
Ichthyophis larutensis, the Larut Hills caecilian, is a species of amphibian in the family Ichthyophiidae found in Malaysia and Thailand. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, plantations, rural gardens, heavily degraded former forest, irrigated land, and seasonally flooded agricultural land.
Amolops larutensis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae that is found in the Malay Peninsula from southernmost Thailand to Malaysia; records further north probably represent A. panhai.
Philautus larutensis is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Indonesia.
Helicia is a genus of 110 species of trees and shrubs, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. They grow naturally in rainforests throughout tropical South and Southeast Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia to New Guinea and as far south as New South Wales.
Kopsia sleesiana is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae. It is endemic to the Sarawak region of Malaysia, on the island of Borneo.
Kopsia tenuis is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae. It is a tree endemic to the Sarawak region of Malaysia, on the island of Borneo.
A vulnerable species is a species which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being threatened with extinction unless the circumstances that are threatening its survival and reproduction improve.
Kopsia pauciflora is a tree in the family Apocynaceae. The specific epithet pauciflora means "few-flowered".
Kopsia rajangensis is a tree in the family Apocynaceae. The specific epithet rajangensis refers to the Rajang River in Borneo, near which the species was initially surveyed.
Kopsia singapurensis is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae. It is native to Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore. It is threatened by habitat loss. It can grow up to five metres tall. When the plant is cut, white latex is produced. The flower has five petals. In Singapore, the tree can only be found in the Nee Soon Swamp Forest. In the wild, it flowers only twice a year, but when cultivated, it is free-flowering if grown under the right conditions.
The Larut dwarf gecko is a species of gecko. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It is sometimes considered conspecific with Hemiphyllodactylus harterti.
Mesagraecia is an Asian genus of bush crickets in the tribe Agraeciini, belonging to the 'conehead' subfamily Conocephalinae. Records to date have all been from Indochina.
Endangered species, as classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), are species which have been categorized as very likely to become extinct in their known native ranges in the near future. On the IUCN Red List, endangered is the second-most severe conservation status for wild populations in the IUCN's schema after critically endangered. In 2012, the IUCN Red List featured 3,079 animal and 2,655 plant species as endangered worldwide. The figures for 1998 were 1,102 and 1,197 respectively.
Pseudocalotes larutensis, the Bukit Larut false garden lizard, is a species of agamid lizard. It is found in Malaysia.
