It is considered a species of least concern on the IUCN Red List due to its broad range, prevalence, and no known major threats.[1] The Panamint chipmunk occurs in pinyon pine-juniper woodlands in bushes, boulders, and on cliffs.[1]
Environmentally, the Panamint chipmunks are a prey species that contributes to the diets of their predators, including birds, raptors, coyotes, foxes, and bobcats.[2]
