Pitcairnia feliciana

Possible threats need to be investigated further, since though agriculture, livestock and population pressure has intensified a lot in the area, the species is found on rock faces that are unlikely to be directly affected. However, Jacques-Félix (2000), who originally discovered the species, voiced concern that since a large number of individuals grow on the walls of a narrow gorge through which a national road passes, a road widening project might destroy most plants of the species. Another threat is global climate change, which has resulted in and is predicted to further result in drying of the climate in West Africa. This may affect the suitability of its habitat, definitely since the species occurs of rock faces where it depends on rain alone for its water uptake.
