The European polecat ferret, which at one time they were vastly diminished until UK passed laws to protect them from becoming extinct. They have recovered, I'm not sure at this time the numbers.

The black footed ferret at one time was thought to be extinct in the wild and only exist in zoos and captive breeding programs. Approximately 200 black-footed ferret kits from captivity are released into the wild each year. Currently there are 11 release sites in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming and Mexico. Many agencies and organizations are involved in black-footed ferret recovery Black-Footed Ferrets have been reintroduced into six western states: Arizona, Montana, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. They have also been released in the Chihuahua desert of northern Mexico. Surveys indicate that approximately 700 ferrets now live in the wild! According to wikipedia: As of 2007, the total wild population of black-footed ferrets was well over 750 individuals (plus 250 in captivity) in the US.
