The International Union for the Conservation of Nature says the central Asian red deer is a "least concern" species, but many subspecies of central Asian red deer have become locally extinct. This means that places that once had many deer now have none.[2]
One subspecies of central Asian red deer, the Kashmir stag (Cervus hanglu hanglu), is the only species of deer that lives in India.[3][4]
