Explanation:

The "Least concern" category typically has the largest number of species as they are not currently at high - risk of extinction. Then comes "Near threatened", followed by "Vulnerable", "Endangered", "Critically endangered", "Data deficient", "Extinct in the wild", and finally "Extinct" which has the fewest species (as they no longer exist).

Answer:

Least concern, Near threatened, Vulnerable, Endangered, Critically endangered, Data deficient, Extinct in the wild, Extinct
