There are about 970 species of bees found in ASEAN. The most common species i.e. found in the region are Apis andreniformis, Apis cerana, and Apis dorsata. 

Indonesia (463 species), followed by Malaysia (266 species) and Thailand (228 species)

There is not much information on the conservation status of bee species in ASEAN. The IUCN Redlist of Threatened Species assessed only 1 out of the 970 species to date. This species is Megachile pluto (Wallace’s Giant Bee), found in Indonesia. The Red List status is Vulnerable.

The ASEAN Biodiversity Outlook 2 section on Agrobiodiversity reported that:

According to the summary report for policymakers of the thematic assessment on pollinators, pollination, and food production of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the status and trends of pollinators in the ASEAN could not be established due to the lack of data although there have been reports of decline locally.

According to the IUCN Redlist of Threatened Species, there are four (Caretta caretta, Eretmochelys imbricata, Chelonia midas, Lepidochelys olivacea) threatened species under Family Cheloniidae in the ASEAN Region. Another threatened species is Dermochelys coriacea under the Family Dermochelyidae.

Pitcher plants are carnivorous and can help control insect populations. In the process of “digesting” their catch, they are not only able to nourish themselves, but also contribute to the associated components in their ecological community, allowing them to survive under very harsh conditions. Natural products from pitcher plants may also have pharmaceutical importance that could protect us from new and emerging diseases.

According to the CMS species list, there are 11 migratory bat species in the ASEAN Region.The total number of bat species in ASEAN as per IUCN is 364. Therefore, the region is home to approximately less than one percent of migratory bats. 

The following are species vulnerable to global warming. They are classified as critically endangered in the IUCN RedList. The species include the following:  Sulu Hornbill, Philippine Cockatoo, Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Cebu Flowerpecker, Hawksbill Turtle, Isabela Oriole, Asian Giant Softshell Turtle,  Largetooth Sawfish, Green Sawfish, Galapagos Petrel, Negros Fruit-dove, Rufous-headed Hornbill, Chinese Crested Tern and the Philippine Eagle.

According to a study published in 2017, of the 10 viruses described in Viverridae species, a third were zoonoses that had significant public health implications. These viruses included the SARS coronavirus (SARS CoV), the HPAI H5N1 and variants of rabies virus. Of the 12 species of Civets found in the ASEAN Region, half were listed in the study as species that are affected by different potential pathogens. List of Civets in the ASEAN Region: Paradoxurus hermaphroditus*, Viverra megaspila, Viverra tangalunga*, Chrotogale owstoni*, Arctictis binturong, Cynogale bennettii, Viverra zibetha*, Diplogale hosei, Viverricula indica*, Hemigalus derbyanus, Macrogalidia musschenbroekii, Paguma larvata*. The species with asterisks denote the ones affected by potential pathogens.
