Taxa
Jaculus jaculus | (Linnaeus, 1758)

Near threatened
Assessment status abreviation

Assessment status criteria
A2c
Assessment rationale/justification
Loss of quality and extent of habitat over the past 10 years has increased and a 25-30% loss in extent and quality of habitat is is suspected, hence a >20% reduction in population size in the past 10 years seems reasonable, thus qualifying for an Near Threatened (NT) listing. Any rescue effect is thought to be negligible.
