The platypus, although found only in the country of Australia (which includes the island state of Tasmania) is not endangered. It is not listed on the IUCN Redlist (endangered species list). The Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the platypus as "least concern". Platypuses are now strictly protected by law. The platypus is vulnerable because of habitat loss through deforestation, dams and irrigation projects.

Did the platypus recover from endangerment?

Officially, no, but in reality, yes. There was a time when the platypus was under threat, being particularly prized for its fur years ago. In the past it came close to extinction, but at this time there were no official levels of conservation status, meaning the platypus was never officially endangered. The platypus has certainly recovered. It is protected by law as a result of the National Parks and Wildlife Act of 1974, and the population has grown back to the point where it is believed to be about the same as it was prior to European settlement.
