What year did mountain lions become endangered'?
It depends on where you are asking about. Under normal conditions, either a state or federal agency decides the issue and makes the rule, or law or whatever. However, in California, in a 1990 initiative, the voters decided to prohibit the sport hunting of mountain lions. They successfully ended the ability of the state to use hunting to control animal population for the benefit of both humans and the cat population. Now the mountain lion in California is encroaching on populated areas, killing pets to survive and increasing the incidents of negative human contact and the government is limited in it's ability to protect either it's citizens or the cats. It's unfortunate that a vocal few can force the end of one of the few animal population control tools available to biologists.

The panther habitat is disappearing. Humans have industiralized their habitat so they cannot breed successfully.

Pollution is also a cause of the disappearance of the panther. High levels of mercury in the water have attributed to many deaths.
