The rationale used for Near Threatened taxa usually includes the criteria of Vulnerable which are plausible or nearly met, such as reduction in numbers or range. Near Threatened species may also include those which are dependent on conservation efforts to prevent their becoming threatened.

Also prior to 2001, Near Threatened was a subcategory of the category "Lower Risk" and such taxa were designated "Lower Risk/near threatened (LR/nt)".
