Pine martens are restricted to a narrow ecological niche of fragmented, eco-geographical distribution. However beech martens can inhabit a range of habitats from natural, semi natural to even urban areas, therefore taking over pine marten habitat.

Trappers generally do not eat pine martens, as these animals are primarily trapped for their fur. While some may consume the meat, it is not common practice due to the small size of the animal and the potential for parasites. In many regions, trappers focus on fur harvesting rather than using the animal for food. However, in some cultures or survival situations, people may choose to eat pine martens if necessary.
