We face a global biodiversity crisis of unprecedented magnitude with devastating consequences for ecosystem viability. Besides anthropogenic habitat deterioration, fragmentation and climatic change, genomics can determine a population's fate but also can be used to assess its health. Yet, genomic patterns of species decline have only been shown for a few emblematic mammal species. Populations of some declining species are mostly assessed by classical census monitoring (e.g.
