Officially, no, but in reality, yes.
There was a time when the platypus was under threat, being particularly prized for its fur years ago. In the past it came close to extinction, but at this time there were no official levels of conservation status, meaning the platypus was never officially endangered. The platypus has certainly recovered. It is protected by law as a result of the National Parks and Wildlife Act of 1974, and the population has grown back to the point where it is believed to be about the same as it was prior to European settlement.
