Everything about Data Deficient totally explained
Data Deficient (
DD) is a category applied by the
IUCN to a species when the available information isn't sufficient for a proper assessment of
conservation status to be made. This doesn't necessarily indicate that the species hasn't been extensively studied; but it does indicate that little or no information is available on the
abundance and
distribution of the species. The IUCN recommends that care be taken to avoid classing species as Data Deficient when the absence of records may actually indicate dangerously low abundance: "If the range of a taxon is suspected to be relatively circumscribed, if a considerable period of time has elapsed since the last record of the taxon, threatened status may well be justified" (see also
precautionary principle).
