Is the king penguin on the endangered list?

The Royal Penguin is listed as "vulnerable" with a population trend posted as "stable", according to the International Union of Conservation for Nature, or the IUCN Red List. They are not listed on the US Fish and Wildlife Services, or the US FWS, Endangered Species List. They were submitted for approval in 2007 along with 12 other species of penguins for listing, but the Royal Penguin wasn't listed. There is hope that the species population will continue to improve with the current conservation efforts in place and further plans for the future. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
