Arctonyx collaris F. G. Cuvier, 1825

In Kaziranga National Park, India, numbers die in the periodic inundation of this flood-plain. While formerly such animals might have been able to move safely to higher ground, the increasing fragmentation of natural habitat probably leads to higher mortalities nowadays. Nonetheless, in total these are likely to be insignificant to overall decline rates of the species, and are only a potential threat at the most local of levels.

Throughout its range, Greater Hog Badger is found in a number of protected areas, perhaps particularly in Myanmar, India and Thailand (Than Zaw et al. 2008, Choudhury 2013, Chutipong et al. 2014). This species is protected by law in Thailand (Chutipong et al. 2014), in Bangladesh (as a Schedule 1 species) under the Wildlife Act 2012 (Hasan Rahman pers. comm. 2014), and in India, under the highest level of protection (Choudhury 2013). This species is not protected in Viet Nam or Cambodia and is the largest-bodied unprotected mammal, except for Eurasian Wild Hog Sus scrofa, in Myanmar (Than Zaw et al. 2008). The China Red List has listed hog badgers (as a monospecific genus, under this species's name) as Vulnerable under C1 and A2c.
