The Madagascar White-eye is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Madagascar white-eye, Zosterops maderaspatanus, is almost indistinguishable from the New Guinea white-eye, Z. novaeguineae; the Annobon white-eye of Gulf of Guinea, Z. griseovirescens, is very similar to the Christmas Island white-eye from south of Java, Z. natalis; and the Australian yellow white-eye, Z. luteus, has the same plumage color as the East African subspecies of the white-breasted white-eye, Z. abyssinicus flavilateralis. Indeed, the relationships between the African and Asian species of Zosterops are yet to be clarified. More
