État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert
Reliable information on their population status is not available (the first live individual was taken only as 1989, from Nimbo When), but they are declining in many areas. Populations in Taï N. P. estimated at approximately 1.5 individuals/km² (Taylor and Dunham 2013). This species may occur naturally at low density (relative to other mongoose species) in some parts of its range.

Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
Threats include habitat loss from agriculture, logging and mining, and hunting with dogs, shotguns, and snares (Taylor 1992, Greengrass 2011). They may also be vulnerable to the use of pesticides in forest plantations, as worms are known to accumulate toxins at levels dangerous to mammalian predators (Taylor and Dunham 2013).
