État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert
Zamia pyrophylla is known from very few subpopulations (two subpopulations identified to date). No detailed demographic study has been carried out for the species, but general field surveys suggest that known subpopulations have small numbers of adults (less than 500 individuals). It is possible that the species has more subpopulations, therefore further research on population distribution and abundance is required.

Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
The known subpopulations of the species occur in a landscape threatened with high deforestation rates, caused by agricultural and urban expansion, mostly forest destruction for growing towns and gold mining. The forest patches where subpopulations remain are small (less than 1,000 hectares) and they are degraded by human activities like logging. The subpopulation near Tutunendo is in grave danger of destruction, as it is very close to the rapidly expanding Quibdo city and mining sites. The other subpopulation has more available habitat, but these forests are also threatened with degradation and destruction.

Mesures de conservation recommandéesStratégies de conservation IUCNExpert
Some conservation actions have been intended for the species, as it is listed on a threatened-species resolution in Colombia and in CITES Appendix II, therefore Colombian environmental authorities are required to prevent and mitigate negative impacts of human activities on this threatened species and to regulate its international commerce. In addition, Colombia launched in 2015 a conservation action plan for Cycads, and in the last few years the “Colombian Cycad Society” has been working to promote population and habitat protection and restoration of small populations for Zamia species in the country, complemented with conservation actions related to research, monitoring, communication and education, among others.
Zamia pyrophylla is not present within protected areas. The species has ex situ collections in botanical gardens in Colombia (Medellin, Quindio Gardens). Urgent actions are required to improve population and habitat viability in the long term. The conservation action plan for Colombian Cycads has proposed specific conservation actions for the species, however there is no species conservation strategy properly funded to this date.
