Patagonian maras are considered to be a near threatened species.
Historically, maras have ranged from north-central Argentina south almost to Tierra del Fuego.
Nevertheless, maras have been greatly affected by hunting and habitat alteration and have been extirpated in some areas, including Buenos Aires Province.
The mara skins have been used for bedspreads and rugs.
