État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert

Sumatran Hog Badger is common in the high montane zone of Kerinci Seblat National Park (Holden 2006) and in various other areas (Helgen et al. 2008); camera-trapping in 2014 at Gunung Tujuh, Kerinci Seblat National Park at 2,000-2,400 m has again found it regularly (J. Holden pers comm. 2014). Indeed there seems to be nowhere on Sumatra with heavy survey effort above about 1,500 m that it has not been found regularly. Where it is recorded only infrequently, e.g. Talang Lima, Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, at 800–1,089 m (McCarthy and Fuller 2014), this is invariably at the lower edge of it altitudinal range, where it is plausibly at naturally low densities. Although there is no direct information about population trend, there is no plausible factor which would be causing a strong directional trend; its main altitudinal zone of occurrence is above the rapid deforestation of lowland Sumatra (e.g., Gaveau et al. 2007) and where general mammal hunting is also at generally low intensity.

Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert

The threats to Sumatran Hog Badger are assessed to be minimal, because the zone of occurrence (800 m, mostly 1,200 m, upwards; Helgen et al. 2008) is above where the majority of hunting takes place (Holden 2006, J. Holden pers. comm. 2014) and overlaps little with the main zone of forest conversion and degradation (below 1,000 m; Gaveau et al. 2007). Some hunting does occur in its habitats and some individuals are doubtless caught by non-selective methods, such as snares set for Eurasian Wild Pig Sus scrofa, but such losses are unlikely to be at levels sufficient to threaten populations except possibly at the most local of scales.

Mesures de conservation recommandéesStratégies de conservation IUCNExpert

Sumatran Hog Badger is found in a number of protected areas, including Gunung Leuser National Park, Kerinci Seblat National Park and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (Holden 2006, Helgen et al. 2008, McCarthy and Fuller 2014). The lack of known or plausible population-level threats means there are no direct conservation measures needed in the short term. In the long term, it depends upon the integrity of highland forest and grasland; large areas are under protection and it is assumed that they will remain so.
