Angraecum distichum

Angraecum distichum has been collected in several national parks and reserves. In addition to officially protected sites, the species also occurs in areas with strong human pressure such as timber exploitations, industrial palm plantations or clear cut areas for shifting agriculture by the riverine populations. Threats to the habitat of A. distichum do not lead us to anticipate a significant decrease within the next five years of its extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO), neither the decline of number of subpopulations or mature individuals.

Despite the fact that the habitat of Angraecum distichum is currently threatened, the species does not yet appear to qualify as threatened under the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. Angraecum distichum is easily being grown in shadehouses in Central Africa (Yaoundé in Cameroon, Libreville, Tchimbélé and the Sibang Arboretum in Gabon), and by some hobbyists.
