As of 2007, there were approximately 750 individuals in the wild, plus 250 in captivity. They had an estimated annual growth rate of 35% from 2003-2006, to give you an idea of about how many there might be in the wild today.

Considering that at one point there were as few as 18 surviving members of their species, this isn't too bad. And furthermore, there haven't been signs of severe inbreeding yet.
