The Pine Marten is showing a marked improvement in numbers that has resulted in a status change from “Threatened” to “Vulnerable.”
A tiny little animal that has been protected for the past ninety years, and placed on the endangered list in 2002, is showing signs of recovery. The Pine Marten is showing a marked improvement in numbers that has resulted in a status change from “Threatened” to “Vulnerable.” This marten population is one of just 14 mammal species native to the island; they’re geographically isolated and genetically and ecologically distinct. Species management plans are being developed to identify conservation measures and ensure the marten continues rebounding. The Newfoundland Marten Recovery Team, chaired by Dr. Brian Hearn, worked closely with the trapping and forestry sectors, stewardship organizations, governments, Indigenous groups, and the public to make the new status a reality. Numbers are steadily improving and currently estimated at 2800 mature animals.
