The tamaraw population has drastically declined to less than 500 due to human disruption, which is considered the main threat. They are classified as critically endangered because of their low numbers. While cattle ranching previously impacted tamaraws, human activity like hunting remains the primary reason for their decreasing wild population, threatening their long-term survival if not addressed.

Boyles noted that human disruption remains number one threat to tamaraws (as cited in Alave, 2011, p.3). T.David also stated that , before, it was cattle ranching that affected the tamaraws (personal communication, November 9, 2011).

If ever something will happen in the wild, they have stocks left due to continuos decrease of tamaraw population in the wild (personal communication, November 9, 2011).
