Only the Northern Marsupial Mole is endangered. This was not true until it was separated from the Southern Marsupial Mole as a separate species a few years ago. (Analogy: If there were one million members of a species, then it would not be endangered. But if scientists decided to divide the species into ten thousand different species based on small differences, then each new species would have only one hundred members and would be considered seriously endangered.)
It all depends upon which mole you are talking about.
The marsupial mole (not a true mole) of Australia is endangered, but this is quite a different animal to the moles found in Europe, Asia, and North America. These moles are not endangered; athough in some areas they are protected, in other areas they are considered agricultural pests.
Many African moles are endangered, such as the different species of Golden Mole, many of which are endangered, some of them critically. De Winton's Golden Mole is a critically endangered mammal that lives in South Africa. The Juliana's Golden Mole is listed as endangered, as are the Giant Golden Mole and Van Zyl's Golden Mole.
There are seven North American species, all of which are considered by landowners and farmers as pestilential.
Not all marsupials are endangered: some are quite plentiful. However, there are several major threats to many marsupials, most of which live in Australia.
The first threat comes from animals which have been introduced into Australia, such as foxes, dogs and feral cats. Prior to the arrival of these non-native predators, Australian marsupials had few natural predators, and had sufficient adaptations to enable their species to remain viable.
The introduction of non-native species, on the whole, has caused the loss of native marsupial populations. if they are not threatened direly by predators, some are threatened by the introduction of competitors for food. The rabbit was introduced, and it has decimated much native vegetation that, for millennia, was the food source for herbivorous marsupials. stock animals have had the same effect. Non-native plants which have been introduced invariably take over native vegetation, pushing it out, and herbivores cannot always gain the nutrition they need from these introduced plants.
Another significant threat comes from habitat loss. Since European settlement, much native land has been razed to make way for housing, industry and agriculture. This also meant a change to ancient indigenous fire regimes that ensured the health of the environment.

The Southern Marsupial Mole is Endangered because when it does venture to the surface it is at great risk of being eaten by: Foxes, Cats and dingos. Also train tracks interfere with there Habitat.
