Bari is under endangered category while the other 3 species are under vulnerable category.
In biogeography, a native species is indigenous to a given region or ecosystem if its presence in that region is the result of only local natural evolution though often popularised as “with no human intervention” The term is equivalent to the concept of indigenous or autochthonous species.
