How many maned wolves are in the world?

The maned wolf is classified as near threatened, and while precise population numbers are difficult to determine, estimates suggest there are between 1,000 to 2,500 individuals remaining in the wild. Their populations are primarily found in regions of South America, particularly in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. Habitat loss and fragmentation, along with hunting, pose significant threats to their survival. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this unique species and its habitat.
