Why is the false killer whale endangered?

0

Additional Info: After checking the US Fish and Wildlife Service List of Endangered Species, then checking the NOAA Fisheries Office of Protected Resources, and finally checking the IUCN Red List, which lists status as “data deficient” with the population trend “unknown”, and another site stated they were at Low Risk. This species is protected by the CITES listing. It is apparently difficult to gather reliable information on this species due to it’s broad range, and lack of inspections for by-catch nationally. They are in the research phase concerning it’s populations trends, and habitat usage studies but at present it is listed, but not as “endangered”. There are several research studies on this species’ life history, breeding/population and stock structure based in Hawaii currently. Also The NOAA Fisheries Office of Protected Resources is conducting field studies on this species as well. For more details, please see sites listed below.
