Flo, Kaca, and Petr published a new study that explores temporal trends of occupancy and range size in 5 charismatic species of Neotropical carnivores.

We have found a generally declining trend in four species. These is alarming, more so given that these species had been classified as not threatened by IUCN. The official global threat status of these species may need to be re-evaluated. All this would be invisible if standard forecasts, local expert knowledge, or static threat criteria, such as range size, were used.
