Trisyngyne carrii

According to Ash et al. (2009), between 1972 and 2002, 15% of Papua New Guinea’s tropical forests were cleared, and 8.8% were degraded through logging. In addition, since 1972, 13% of upper montane forests have also been lost. The present trend for Nothofagus forest is to be reduced in area through conversion to other land uses (Beehler and Marshall 2012). Being a large tree, it is likely that it is used as a timber species; a use which is a potential threat to the species. Furthermore, seasonal fires are becoming more prevalent and beginning to occur in logged areas, especially in upland slopes where 4.4% of forest loss between 1972-2002 has occurred (Ash et al. 2009). According to a herbarium specimen collected in 1976 (Clunie and Katik 1976), a population was growing on the slopes of Mt. Giluwe in the Southern Highlands in an area known as 'Laro Logging Area'; this suggests that this species grows on upland slopes where it experiences logging as well as fire suppression.

According to BGCI Plant Search (2017), there are no ex situ collections of this species; it is recommended these are made for the species. Currently the species does not appear to be present in protected areas.
