The beluga whales are categorized as "Near Threatened". It means that, though significant populations exist in the wild, there are threats to their existence like pollution or hunting etc. If let unchecked, these threats can affect the numbers and cause extinction to the species. Beluga whales were hunted extensively during the Whaling era which caused a drastic decline in their numbers.
