Is the Chinkara an endangered species?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
The species is not endangered (more than 100,000 remaining in the wild in India, hence the LC rating), but it is protected, which means that under Indian law is it forbidden to hunt them. The second Wikipedia article you mentioned is inaccurate.

No, it's not endangered.

Can I have more info on this?

Wikipedia claims that its conservation status is LC, meaning least concern

But in another article about Salman Khan, the infamous Indian actor, it claims that he was sentenced one year in jail for "hunting the "Chinkara, an endangered species"

Now I'm confused, is it endangered, or not?
