Yes. Unlike the short-beaked echidna, the long-beaked echidna is endangered.
Habitat loss is the main reason why some sub-species of the long-beaked echidna are endangered. Where human settlement has expanded, the animals' natural environment has been reduced. They are still found in remote, unsettled areas of New Guinea. The other reason is hunting. Many people on the island of New Guinea still live a traditional lifestyle, and the long-beaked echidna is regarded as a delicacy, still legally hunted by the native people of the island, even though commercial hunting of the species has been banned by the Indonesian and Papua New Guinean governments.
