The Javan Leopard of Indonesia is classified as endangered by the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and illegal parts trade. It is the last remaining apex predator in Java, so the need for protection and consequences of extinction are dire.

As wildlife habitat becomes reduced and more fragmented, mountain lions increasingly overlap with human-dominated areas. While rare, this can lead to conflicts with people, pets, or livestock, as with last week's incidents in Monterey County.

By the late 1800s, pumas were extinct from the eastern United States due to overhunting and habitat loss.
In recent years, however, some dispersing pumas have appeared in the Midwest, suggesting pumas might recolonize in greater numbers.
