There are currently about 30 different species of porcupines. Of those, three are listed as "vulnerable" while the remaining 27 are either "least concern" or there isn't enough data to make a determination.

If you're asking specifically about the North American porcupine, Erethizon dorsatum, it currently enjoys a "low risk/least concern" status.
