In some areas, such as the eastern United States, the high density of humans who have taken over much of the land has forced the mountain lion out - farming, lumber industry, etc. However, in its western range it still has vast amounts of territory not overrun by humans. However, California is now having a lot of human-cougar encounters because of the problems mentioned above.
