This is a list of the amphibian and reptile species recorded in Gibraltar. There are five amphibian and twenty-five reptile species in Gibraltar, of which one is critically endangered, two are endangered, one is vulnerable, and three are near threatened.[1]
The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature:
| EX |
Extinct |
No reasonable doubt that the last individual has died.
|
| EW |
Extinct in the wild |
Known only to survive in captivity or as a naturalized populations well outside its previous range.
|
| CR |
Critically endangered |
The species is in imminent risk of extinction in the wild.
|
| EN |
Endangered |
The species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
|
| VU |
Vulnerable |
The species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
|
| NT |
Near threatened |
The species does not meet any of the criteria that would categorise it as risking extinction but it is likely to do so in the future.
|
| LC |
Least concern |
There are no current identifiable risks to the species.
|
| DD |
Data deficient |
There is inadequate information to make an assessment of the risks to this species.
|
Some species were assessed using an earlier set of criteria. Species assessed using this system have the following instead of near threatened and least concern categories:
| LR/cd |
Lower risk/conservation dependent |
Species which were the focus of conservation programmes and may have moved into a higher risk category if that programme was discontinued.
|
| LR/nt |
Lower risk/near threatened |
Species which are close to being classified as vulnerable but are not the subject of conservation programmes.
|
| LR/lc |
Lower risk/least concern |
Species for which there are no identifiable risks.
