Lynx are nearly extinct in Portugal where few, if any, remain. Spain's only two breeding populations total 84 to 143 adults. Lynx's main food source, rabbits, became scarce after the 1940s. That, along with much of their habitat being developed, led to drastic population declines.

Only one population of Bavaian pine voles is known to exist, after they became extinct in Germany sometime since 1962. The last group's open forest habitat on Rofan Mountain suffers recent and ongoing losses to forestry and farming.

European mink are extinct in Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, and possibly Bulgaria, Moldova and Switzerland. The European mink population is less than half what it was a decade ago. Wetland habitat loss and degradation has relegated mink to barely one-fifth of their original range.

At most, 5,000 Azorean bats remain and their numbers are likely dwindling. Many colonies have reportedly disappeared in recent years as people persecute the bats and destroy roosts.

Possibly 1000 Madeira pipistrelle bats live in the Madieria Islands, 300 in the Azores and somewhat more in the Canaries. The bat's population is probably declining and habitat loss is a concern.

Canary long-eared bats are confined to three or four islands in the Canary archipelago. The bats have recently dropped in number due to cutting of forests.

Most of the semi-open landscape, once scattered with trees and shrubs, is now intensively farmed and no longer suitable for Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse. It hasn’t been sighted in European Turkey for five years.

The sandy mole rat lives only in southern Ukraine, where its habitat continues to shrink. Outside its protected range in the Black Sea State Reserve, the mole rat population is swiftly declining.

It's not known how many Canary shrews exist or whether their numbers have changed over the years. Rapid development on the islands is fragmenting and destroying the shrews' habitat.
