The Slender Mongoose is not limited by fences, and is also present within a number of transfrontier Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern reserves, including the Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area. Regional population effects: Dispersal is likely between regions, as this species’ range is continuous across southern Africa from northern South Africa to Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique south of the Emmanuel Do Linh San Zambezi River. Assessment Rationale The Slender Mongoose is listed as Least Concern as it is common and widespread in a variety of habitats (including human modified landscapes), there are no major threats that could cause rapid population decline, and it is present in several protected areas (notably Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park) across its distribution range within the assessment region.
