État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert

Indian Grey Mongoose is mostly common, often abundant, in suitable habitat throughout its main range, but it is relatively rare in North-east India (A.U. Choudhury pers. comm. 2014). One study in central India, where the species is common, found its abundance even decreased moving from human settlement towards undisturbed forests (Shekhar 2003).

Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert

Indian Grey Mongoose has no range-wide threats sufficient to drive significant population declines. It is likely that in some areas the levels of harvest are sufficient to reduce local densities. Over recent centuries the species has probably benefited from conversion of closed evergreen forest (at most only rarely occupied) to open habitats.

Mesures de conservation recommandéesStratégies de conservation IUCNExpert

The Indian Grey Mongoose is listed on CITES Appendix III by India. It is listed in Schedule IV (with no legal protection) of the Wildlife (Protection) Act (1972) in India. In central India people consider the mongoose to be sacred and thus it is not killed there (Shekhar 2003). This species is found in numerous protected areas. Populations are not quantitatively monitored in any country; but the species remains widely and commonly seen in human-dominated areas, indicating a lack of significant ongoing threats and no need for conservation action (this does not exclude that in localised parts of the range, populations might benefit from conservation action).
