Current thought is that, while species of mouse deer have become extinct over the last several decades, the current extant species are suffering from over-hunting and deforestation activities. Included in this list, but certainly not exhaustive, are the Balabac mouse deer, found near Borneo, and the Greater Mouse Deer, in various parts of South East Asia.

How can you save deer from becoming extinct?

This would be accomplished the same as for any other animal - maintain its habitat and leave it alone. Unfortunately, the whitetail deer is in no danger of becoming extinct in the Eastern US. The population of whitetail deer is actually too large and needs to be reduced - since the predators that feed on deer have been eliminated from the area (wolves, primarily), the deer are exploding in population.
