==Threats==
This species has been classified by the ICUN as "least concern" due to its large population and extensive range. Persecution in various areas, including the poisoning of bait traps, habitat loss, and the development of wind energy turbines continue to be of concern. It was cited in the past as having a severe drop in population within the United Kingdom<ref>https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0970/943eb635e6eec3e04b89eed36db6acf72132.pdf</ref> due to a myxomatosis epidemic during the 1950s which killed off nearly the entire population of wild rabbits<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19069081</ref>.
