Catalog of Threatened Civilizations

The conservation status of a group of organisms (for instance, a species) indicates whether the group still exists and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats. Various systems of conservation status are in use at international, multi-country, national and local levels, as well as for consumer use such as sustainable seafood advisory lists and certification. The two international systems are by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
Threatened species are any species (including animals, plants and fungi) which are vulnerable to extinction in the near future. Species that are threatened are sometimes characterised by the population dynamics measure of critical depensation, a mathematical measure of biomass related to population growth rate. This quantitative metric is one method of evaluating the degree of endangerment.
The Involved (or the In-Play) were the group of space-faring civilizations that were active members of the meta-civilization of the Milky Way galaxy.
The Involved were known as the Optimae by the non-Involved Sarl.
The membership of the Involveds was necessarily fluid. It drew new members from maturing lesser civilizations. Very old and mature civilizations exited the Involveds when they withdrew from galactic affairs, becoming Elders or Sublimed.

== Tiers ==
The Involved were separated into at least three tiers: Low, Mid, and High Level. An Involved's tier roughly corresponded to its place on the Recognised Civilisationary Levels scale: Low Level corresponded to high Level 5 to low Level 6 civilizations, while High Level corresponded to Level 8 civilizations.

* Strivationism- Strivationism is a civilizational trait characterized by the energetic pursuit of societal and technological improvement. Low Level Involveds are typically Strivationists.
