Bulbophyllum amblyacron

The area in which this species was found is still relatively undeveloped (Morrison 2001). As such, it appears possible that the species may still be present in its former location.

In February 2007 the Rufford Small Grants Foundation gave an award to the Torricelli Mountain Range Conservation Area Training Program to build capacity among local people, particularly regarding wildlife conservation in an area known to provide habitat for a critically endangered species of tree kangaroo, the Tenkile (Dendrolagus scottae) (Thomas 2007). Such conservation measures may indirectly benefit this orchid by preserving suitable habitat. This orchid is listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species Appendix II - Trade controlled to avoid use incompatible with species survival (CITES 2009). Further surveys are needed to establish its current geographic range, population and habitat status. Further research is needed into its biology and ecology to give a better understanding of any threats and specific conservation measures that may be needed.
