Rationale
(Changed due to Same category and criteria)
Anax imperator is a widespread species with no major threats worldwide and it is therefore assessed as Least Concern.
Distribution
Anax imperator is known from the whole Africa to most of Europe, the Arabian Peninsula and southwest and Central Asia. Within India it is present in West Bengal (Kolkata district), Uttarakhand, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. This species is presently expanding to the north due to the global warming and has been found in the southern part of Sweden up to Uppsala. In the British Isles, its northern limit shifted by 80 km to the north so that now this species is known from Scotland.
