Conservation status is taken from each Zoopedia record (captured 2026-10-17). Status drives how a release to a wildlife reserve is treated, which is why the reserve tools ask for it first.
FAQ
FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
Does conservation status change what a reserve accepts?
The Zoopedia status is the value the reserve and release tools read. Treat anything not shown in game as unknown rather than assuming a species qualifies.
What does Not Evaluated mean?
It means the species has no IUCN assessment in the game data. It is not the same as Least Concern.
