How rare are margays?

Margays (Leopardus wiedii) are considered near threatened due to habitat loss and poaching, making them relatively rare in certain regions. Their populations are declining, particularly in Central and South America where they are found. While they are elusive and difficult to spot in the wild, conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their habitats and increase their numbers. Overall, their rarity varies by location, but they face significant threats across their range.
