History:
Thankfully, the global bottlenose dolphin population is not believed to be in any danger. They are classified as least concern on the IUCN eed list, although their current population trend is unknown. However, certain isolated bottlenose dolphin populations are threatened due to habitat degradation. More specifically, certain ocean ecosystems that the bottlenose dolphin inhabits are negatively affected by climate change.
