The saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis) was declared endangered shortly after its discovery in 1992, as it was recognized as one of the world's rarest large mammals. Due to habitat loss and poaching, it has been classified as critically endangered by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) since 1996. Conservation efforts continue to be critical for the survival of this elusive species.

In Vietnam there is a protected area for them and other endangered species.
Saola are threatened by incidental snaring, hunting to supply the illegal wildlife trade, and habitat loss. Due to its highly elusive nature and remote habitat, limited information about the saola's distribution, abundance, habitat use, or diet has been revealed since its discovery in 1992.
