The animal that became Canada's symbol was trapped to near extinction for its pelt and only concerted efforts by early conservationists, namely Parks Canada's first naturalist/interpreter Grey Owl (Archibald Belaney), saved it.

So it was near extinction but was saved and is no longer in the endangered list. In Europe, the European beavers are classified as endangered.
