American black bears are common and not threatened with extinction in most of the areas where they exist, although bears in Louisiana and Mississippi (in the U.S.) are. Bears in Florida were recently removed from that state's list of imperiled species. General threats are habitat loss from development and fragmentation of habitat from roads and traffic.

Asiatic black bears are threatened with habitat loss and fragmentation as well as poaching.
