État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert
The population status of Ruddy Mongoose is not well known, but it is evidently common in at least some parts of India (e.g., Shekhar 2003). Recent extensions of known range to the north-east (Nepal) and north-west (Rajasthan) include areas where the species seems uncommon.
Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
There appear to be no major threats to the global Ruddy Mongoose population. Local-scale threats include hunting and snaring by local tribes.

Mesures de conservation recommandéesStratégies de conservation IUCNExpert
The Indian Ruddy Mongoose population is listed on CITES Appendix III, and Schedule IV of Indian Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. In central India people consider the mongoose to be sacred, and thus it is not killed there (Shekhar 2003). The species occurs in numerous protected areas.
