==Status== Captive mongoose lemurs can live up to 26 years, while wild specimens live 18β20 years.<ref name="Bristol Zoo" /> Mongoose lemurs in the wild are threatened by the destruction and fragmentation of the forests in which they live, and also by hunting. Their numbers have dwindled by about 80% over a period of 25 years, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated their conservation status as "critically endangered".<ref name="iucn status 19 November 2021" /> Mongoose lemurs are more endangered in Madagascar, but there could be a way to conserve them in Comoros because of the increase of these species' population in the area.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Nadhurou |first1=Bakri |last2=Righini |first2=Roberta |last3=Gamba |first3=Marco |last4=Laiolo |first4=Paola |last5=Ouledi |first5=Ahmed |last6=Giacoma |first6=Cristina |title=Effects of human disturbance on the mongoose lemur Eulemur mongoz in Comoros: implications and potential for the conservation of a Critically Endangered species |journal=Oryx |date=January 2017 |volume=51 |issue=1 |pages=60β67 |doi=10.1017/S0030605315000897|s2cid=86069333 |hdl=2318/1529022 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>
