In the past, puffin numbers have suffered as the birds' pelts have been used for clothing and their eggs prized by collectors. However, North Atlantic puffins, with an estimated population of six million, are neither extinct nor endangered. Puffins are adaptable to a wide range of conditions. Elsewhere, horned puffins and common puffins have not suffered a dramatic drop in population, but tufted puffins have fallen in numbers.
It is illegal to purchase or own a puffin bird as they are protected under various conservation laws due to declining populations and endangered status. It is important to respect these protections and support efforts to preserve puffin populations in their natural habitats.
There are currently no endangered species in Acadia National Park. However, the bald eagle, the puffin, and the peregrine falcon were all recently taken off the Endangered Species List.
Big horned sheep are not considered endangered. There are multiple species of big horned sheep, with some populations facing challenges due to habitat loss and disease, but overall they are not currently classified as endangered. Conservation efforts are in place to help protect and maintain healthy populations of big horned sheep.
The Eastern short-horned lizard is endangered due to habitat loss from agriculture and urban development, as well as collection for the pet trade. Climate change and invasive species also pose threats to their survival. Conservation efforts are focused on habitat protection and restoration, as well as education and stricter regulations on collection.
Muflon goats are not considered endangered. They are categorized as "least concern" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to their stable population size and wide distribution in regions like the Mediterranean and Middle East. However, localized threats such as habitat loss and hunting can impact certain populations of muflon goats.
