Seven endemic species or subspecis of landbird still survive in the islands: il tui delle Chatham (''[[Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae ]]chathamensis''), il piccione delle Chatham (''[[Hemiphaga chathamensis]]''), il gerigone delle isole Chatham (''[[Gerygone albofrontata]]''), il parrocchetto delle Chatham (''[[Cyanoramphus forbesi]]''), il beccacino subantartico (''[[Coenocorypha aucklandica]]''), la balia della Nuova Zelanda (''[[Petroica macrocephala ]]chathamensis'') e la balia melanica delle Isole Chatham (''[[Petroica traversi]]''). Globally threatened endemic seabirds include la beccaccia di mare delle isole Chatham (''[[Haematopus chathamensis]]''), il beccacino delle Chatham (''[[Coenocorypha pusilla]]''), il petrello delle Chatham (''[[Pterodroma axillaris]]'').
The following species and subspecies were eliminated after European settlement:
Of the 750 to 800 insects described from the Chatham Islands, about twenty percent are endemic species). Habitat destruction and introduced mammals have led to the loss of many species and the decimation of even more. Most endemics survive only on island refuges such as Mangere and Rangatira, although a few still survive in forest reserves on the main islands. It is worth noting that there are no native mammals, frogs, or geckos, although there is one subspecies of native skink, [[Leiolopisma nigriplantare ]]nigriplantare.
