Yes, they are listed on the major endangered species lists, but not under the specific status of Endangered yet. They are currently listed on the US Fish and Wildlife Service endangered list as a "Threatened" species, and on the IUCN Red list as "Vulnerable," which is a subcategory of the IUCN Threatened status.
If their numbers keep growing, and our understanding of them increases, they may be removed from the lists of animals in danger. When animal species are "removed from the lists", they are put under a status of "delisted".
Their population has been improving, and they currently number over 20K in the wild, and could be over 25K.
