État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert
No quantitative population data are available for this species. Merckx and Bidartondo (2008) report collecting Afrothismia foertheriana plants in 2006 at two separate sites approximately 1-2 km apart within the Diongo Community Forest, so there may be two subpopulations.

Mesures de conservation recommandéesStratégies de conservation IUCNExpert
No specific conservation measures or management plan are in place for this species. It is not recorded from any officially protected areas. The importance of this plant should be discussed with the Diongo elders and the possibility of renting the site of this Afrothismia explored with them, if not already done so.
