Range: The species occurred in most high mountains of Korea until the early 20 th century ( Won 1967). Only a small number of long-tailed gorals are now dispersed along the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range ( Choi & Choi 2007). In South Korea, N. caudatus inhabits high mountains of Gangwon Province and northern Gyeongsangbuk Province (NIBR 2015; Fig. 73 View FIGURE 73 ). Currently, goral is expanding its range and therefore, in 2018, one goral was poached by a snare in Pocheon (40 km northwest from Seoul) and two gorals occurred at an urban park in Seoul (Observation by the author, YSJ). In North Korea, the status of goral is ambiguous. Mt. Myohyang has a relatively healthy population and perhaps other populations, too (Dr. William Duckworth, IUCN, Pers. Comm.), whereas Kim et al. (2015) were concerned about drastic declines of gorals in North Korea.

Remarks: The long-tailed goral has been regarded as a monotypic species, but recent DNA analysis indicated differences between populations in China and Korea and suggested the name N. c. raddeanus to designate the subspecies in Korea ( Min et al. 2004).

Conservation status: The South Korean government designated N. caudatus a Natural Monument in 1968 and an Endangered Species in 1997. In North Korea, N. caudatus with its habitats at Dancheon City, Hamgyeongnam Province, and Daehongdan County, Ryanggang Province were designated as Natural Monuments in 1980. CITES lists the long-tailed goral in Appendix I. Also, this species is classified as ‘Vulnerable’ in both North and South Korean Red Books (MAB National Committee of DPR Korea 2002; NIBR 2012).
