The Cetacean Specialist Group (CSG) is the official IUCN Red List Authority responsible for assessing global threat levels for cetacean species. Between 2018 and 2021, the CSG undertook a reassessment of all cetacean species as well as many subspecies and subpopulations. A total of 104 new or updated assessments were published during that time. Of the 90 cetacean species assessed for the Red List, 24% are assigned to a threatened category (i.e. CR, EN, VU), 11% are Near Threatened, just over half (54%) are Least Concern, and 10% are considered Data Deficient.
