Raccoons are generally quite plentiful in most areas and are neither threatened or endangered. The only subspecies of raccoon that are endangered are a few whose range is limited to some Caribbean islands and Mexican islands such as the Barbados raccoon which is probably extinct. The Cozumel raccoon is another Mexican species which is listed as endangered because of habitat loss.
