État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert

It is apparently uncommon to rare, but it may be easily overlooked or confused with other mongoose species.

Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert

There are no major threats to the species. Its favoured habitat is extensive, and in some parts overlap with very low human populations. However, in some parts of the range (e.g., Tanzania) there has been considerable expansion of the human population and their dogs, which could represent a significant localised threat (Stuart and Stuart 2013). That said, in the the Ka-Ndengeza and Vyeboom villages, Vhembe district, Limpopo province, in South Africa this species was detected in areas with high human and domestic dog abundances (L.H. Swanepoel pers. obs. 2014). In addition, miombo woodlands are heavily used for resource extraction by humans (Misana et al. 1996, Mapaure and Campbell 2002); therefore local management plans might be required to ensure adequate habitat protection for this species.
