Threatened species of Zorro Nature:
Little is known about the absolute and relative abundance of species of Dusicyon. Each species presents very different problems and little is known about the status, or even the accurate distribution. This lack of Knowledge is a major hinderance to conservation efforts.
Incidence:
The grey zorro Dusicyon griseus is considered by some as extremely common and abundant; yet, other correspondents report that it is rare and declining in much of its range. Given the large international trade in the species (100,000 pelts per year 1980-1985, IUCN 1988), the potential for rapid and irreversible loss of the species is great.
