How many American badgers are left in the world?

The American badger (Taxidea taxus) is not currently considered endangered, and its population is relatively stable across its range in North America. However, exact population numbers are difficult to determine due to their secretive nature and wide distribution. Estimates suggest that their populations may number in the hundreds of thousands, but specific figures can vary by region and habitat conditions. Conservation efforts primarily focus on habitat preservation and mitigating threats from habitat loss and road mortality.
