Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: In China this species occurs in the Daweishan and Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserves. Maintaining and improving the protection of this species within existing protected areas is recommended. It is listed as Vulnerable in the 1997 OEPP Thai Red List. The rating of Threatened for R. nigropalmatus in the 1992 Viet Nam Red Data Book (Tran et al., 1992) might refer in part to R. feae.
