As of April 7th, 2015, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ for COTE D'IVOIRE (Ivory Coast) in Western Africa lists 2 extinct species (Argocoffeopsis lemblinii coffee-like shrub and Byttneria ivorensis tree), 12 critically endangered species, and 51 endangered species. The twelve critically endangered species are the Atlantic Goliath Grouper, Largetooth and Smalltooth Sawfish, Slender-snouted Crocodile, Streamertail dragonfly (Zygonychidium gracile), Tai Toad, Wimmer's Shrew, Aubregrinia taiensis plant, Neoschumannia kamerunensis plant, Neritina tiassalensis freshwater snail, Western Nimba Toad (Nimbaphrynoides occidentalis), and Tilapia cessiana fish.
The grouper and sawfish species listed above seem to be featured on IUCN endangered species lists for a lot of countries.
