Classification
System (Realm) Relationship to People Living or ExtinctDerived from this species' own Conservation Status: this atlas's IUCN category list has no Extinct value, so a set conservation-status is itself evidence of living status (w-bfill-g5-0924 browse backfill). Scientific Name Conservation StatusIUCN Red List, assessed by King, Dolch, Randriahaingo, Randrianarimanana and Ravaloharimanitra in 2020 (dated assessed 7 May 2018, published 2020). Status has worsened over time: Endangered 2000-2008, Critically Endangered since 2014. Fewer than 10,000 individuals estimated, decreasing. Disputed
Population EstimatePublished estimates span an order of magnitude, from 1,000 to 10,000 individuals; the lower, more conservative bound is recorded here. Connections

Open Question: Indri Population
Published population estimates for the indri range from 1,000 to 10,000 individuals, a full order of magnitude of uncertainty, reflecting how little of its fragmented eastern Madagascar rainforest range has been systematically surveyed.
What would resolve this A systematic acoustic or transect survey across the indri's remaining rainforest fragments, standardised so counts from different reserves can be summed without double counting.
