Major Threat(s): Over most of its range there are no specific threats to it. In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, agricultural expansion, selective logging and road construction are believed to constitute threats.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: It is likely to inhabit several of the protected areas in peninsular Thailand, while referred specimens have been recorded from a number of Malaysian protected areas (Berry 1975). On Indian territory, where this species is protected by national legislation, it has been recorded from Mount Harriet Island National Park and Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve, in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Taxonomic clarification of the L. macrognathus species group is needed.
