We examined the status of the endangered huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) and present measures recommended for its conservations. The distribution and numbers of the endangered huemul have reduced. Negative factors include habitat modification, diseases, poaching, tourism, predation, competition, and population fragmentation. Viable conservation measures include improved legal protection, additional reserves, research, and public education.
