Conservationis status may optionally be included; you can search the IUCN's database of threatened species to find the conservation status of many organisms. It is included via the status argument, which takes a code or template. It is not appropriate for prehistoric organisms - the fossil_range parameter may be a more sensible option.

| status = code

or

| status = EX
| extinct = year

Use the first syntax (with one of the codes below) except for extinct animals when you wish to show the year of extinction. The code may be all upper or lower case, but the cases used in the table are preferred.

You may come across the old syntax for conservation status also: (do not use)

| status = {{StatusTemplate}} 

If you find a taxobox like this, you can safely replace the template with the corresponding code, see also taxobox status.

The following status codes are available (the third column shows the corresponding template, but this is obsolete and the code is preferred):

Status (as shown in taxobox) Code Translted?
Securum secure 1 yes
Domesticatum DOM 1 yes
Vigens LC yes
Vigens LR/lc yes
Custodienda NT yes
Custodienda (LC/nt) LR/nt yes
Ex conservatione dependens (LR/cd) LR/cd yes
Damno obiecta VU yes
In discrimen adducta EN yes
In summum discrimen adducta CR no
In summum discrimen adducta (CR), possibly extinct PE no
Exstincta in natura EW no
Exstincta EX no
Status parum cognitus DD yes
Non Censata NE yes
Fossil fossil 1,2 no
Prehistoric pre 1 no
See text See text 1 no
Lower Risk LR3 no
Notes
  1. Not a valid IUCN Red List category.
  2. | status = fossil is deprecated in favour of | fossil_range = start-end (see the #Fossil range section below).
  3. Use LR/lc or LR/nt or LR/cd instead

The criteria used by the IUCN should also be specified: (case sensitive)

| status_system = iucn2.3

or

| status_system = iucn3.1

This is used to choose which conservation status graphic to use, as iucn v2.3 had an extra category. Failure to use this parameter will result in no graphic appearing.

Other systems are listed at Wikipedia:Conservation status

If you are not using the official category assigned by IUCN (or other body), then use status_text to refer to the reason (e.g. new research) mentioned within the article:

Animalia — ...
   
Conservationis status
{{Taxobox | ...
| status = CR
| status_system = iucn3.1
| status_text = #New research suggests critical status
...
}}
