Mesures de conservation recommandéesExpert
The species is not known from any ex situ collections (BGCI 2021). This species was evaluated as threatened (VU) by the IUCN (1998) and by the Red List of the Mexican Cloud Forest Trees (González-Espinosa et al. 2011). This species is legally protected in Mexico by the national list of species at risk of extinction, NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, where it is listed under category “at risk of extinction” (P; SEMARNAT 2010). In Mexico, it occurs in the Natural Resources Protection Area "Zona Protectora Forestal Vedada Cuenca Hidrográfica del Río Necaxa" (Hidalgo, Puebla) and in the Biosphere Reserve "Los Tuxtlas" (Veracruz). It is recommended to set up sustainable production activities, livelihood alternatives to the destruction of forests, legal regulations, and conservation payments. Likewise, it would be beneficial to monitor habitat trends.
