In its 2015 assessment, the IUCN classified the numbat as Endangered and estimated its mature individuals at about eight hundred; the assessment page notes that this is not the most recent assessment of the species.
The numbat is threatened by habitat loss due to vegetation clearing, by fires, and by predation from foxes and feral cats.
