As of my last update, the exact number of gopher tortoises remaining is difficult to ascertain due to their wide distribution across the southeastern United States. However, estimates suggest that there are around 200,000 to 300,000 gopher tortoises left in the wild. They are classified as a threatened species in many areas due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures. Conservation efforts are ongoing to help stabilize and increase their populations.
