Threats
The montane rain forests in Papua New Guinea are generally undisturbed because of low population densities and
traditional lifestyles. Although the threats to the ecoregions, where this species is found, are low, potential future threats
include logging, mining, and agricultural expansion.

Conservation Measures
There are relatively few protected areas wthin the range of this species. However, the habitat is, as yet, little disturbed.
Identification of new protected areas and expansion of existing areas will help protect this species from future threats. It
was not found in available lists of seed bank and botanic garden species.
