History:

Narwhals are believed to have a worldwide population of about 75,000 individuals, and are classified as near threatened by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Their primary threats are poaching and climate change. Thankfully, they are protected by multiple legislations introduced by the European Union, such as an import ban on their tusks.
