Description complète des menacesExpert

There are no known species-specific threats other than minor collection by Aloe enthusiasts. The habitat on the southern slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro is threatened by rapid expansion of infrastructure and human settlement. These deep river gorges are subject to increasingly irregular water flows both as a result of water extraction and climate change. The scale of this impact is not known.
