Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
The subpopulation on the Mtentu River occurs outside of the boundaries of the Mkambati Nature Reserve. Its fruits, which are very similar to coconut (Abbott 2006) are heavily exploited by the local population as a food source (Williams 1991, Custodians of Rare and Endangered Wildplants data). Individuals on the upper margins of the cliffs are also subjected to occasional fire damage (Williams 1991). However, the subpopulation appears to be maintained by vegetative reproduction (Williams 1991) and comparative population data from 1969 (Strey 8862) and 2007 (Custodians of Rare and Endangered Wildplants data) indicate no decline in the number of mature individuals. Jubaeopsis caffra is also very popular in the horticultural trade, and has been introduced internationally (Williams 1991). Harvesting of fruits from the wild populations for the horticultural trade is placing additional pressure on seed reserves (P.J.H. Hurter pers. comm.). Seeds are reported to be difficult to acquire (Williams 1991). International trade in seeds of this species is not currently regulated by CITES - this species is not listed in either of the Appendices. The subpopulation on the Msikaba River is protected within the Mkambati Nature Reserve and is not subjected to the same pressures as the Mtentu subpopulation (Williams 1991).
