The New Zealand Threat Classification System is used by the Department of Conservation to assess conservation priorities of species in New Zealand.[1]
The system was developed because the IUCN Red List, a similar conservation status system, had some shortcomings for the unique requirements of conservation ranking in New Zealand. As of 2011,[update] plants, animals, and fungi are evaluated, though the lattermost has yet to be published.[2] Algae were assessed in 2005 but not reassessed since.[2] Other protists have not been evaluated.[2]
