Tetapi bekantan masih dapat ditemui dibeberapa bagian pesisir (Kartono et al, 2008), salah satunya adalah di Paloh Kabupaten Sambas. Hasil evaluasi bekantan di hutan mangrove selama 10 tahun terjadi penurunan populasi bekantan pertahun sebanyak 3% (Bismark, 2002). Laporan simposium PHVA (Population and Habitat Viability Analysis) bekantan tahun 2004, populasi bekantan diduga tinggal 25.000 individu, dan yang berada di kawasan konservasi 5.000 individu (Manangsang et al, 2005). Secara nasional bekantan tergolong kedalam satwa dilindungi berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan Republik Indonesia Nomor P.106. Secara Internasional status konservasi bekantan termasuk kedalam endangered species (IUCN, 2019) dan Appendix I CITES untuk status perdagangan.
