Conservation Dependent (LR/cd) was an
IUCN category assigned to species or lower taxa which were dependent on conservation efforts to prevent the taxon becoming
threatened with extinction. Such taxa must be the focus of a continuing taxon-specific or habitat-specific conservation programme targeted towards the taxon in question, the cessation of which would result in the taxon qualifying for one of the
threatened categories within a period of five years.
