Explanation:

The recent scientific studies on the current Hangul population trend have indicated that the species could go extinct if serious management and conservation interventions are not made immediately.

Hangul population is stable but there is no considerable improvement in population because of the various concerns.

Factors like habitat fragmentation and poaching, livestock grazing, predation, ecological threats and disturbed corridors and landscapes as its reasons.

Poached for its meat, antlers and skin, the deer’s population dropped below 200 in the early 1990s from 800-900 in 1988 after insurgency paralysed the state administration.

It had a thriving population of 3,000-5,000 in the 1900s.
