Dholes are listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. They have disappeared from most of their historical range across Asia, and populations are still declining in most areas due to habitat loss, declines in prey, persecution due to livestock depredation, and disease transmission from domestic dogs. In 2019, over 28 dhole experts from 9 range countries gathered in Thailand to collaborate to change the future for dholes.
