I didn't know there was an updated TFTSG list in 2007. I always referred to the 2003 red list. I only listed tortoises and I may have accidentally left some out since I am doing this while on my lunch break.

Turtles in Trouble: The World’s Top 25 Most Endangered Tortoises and Freshwater Turtles - 2007
(arranged in estimated hierarchical order).
1 Chelonoidis (=Geochelone) nigra abingdonii
5 Geochelone platynota
9 Astrochelys (=Geochelone) yniphora
13 Testudo kleinmanni
14 Pyxis planicauda
22 Psammobates geometricus

• Though Chelonoidis (=Geochelone) nigra abingdonii is represented by only a single individual living in captivity (Lonesome George) and could be considered functionally Extinct, recent work in the Galápagos has demonstrated the presence of mixed abingdonii genotypes in some tortoises from the Volcan Wolf area of Isabela, raising hope that a compatible mate might eventually be located and the taxon possibly saved.

• 2007 Regional Lists: Using the data reviewed in 2007 to determine the Global Top 25 List presented above, the TFTSG also compiled Regional Top Threatened Lists to provide rough hierarchical rankings of the currently most threatened species of tortoises and freshwater turtles for various geographic regions. These lists are documented here. The species on these lists also included on the list of the Top 25 globally threatened species are indicated in bold type.
