Beaucarnea goldmanii is native to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. In Mexico, the species is confined to Chiapas. Its habitat is in deciduous tropical forests, at altitudes of 400–1,400 m (1,300–4,600 ft). [1]
Beaucarnea goldmanii has been assessed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It is threatened by agriculture, including damage to young trees from cattle. It is also threatened by illegal harvesting for the ornamental plant trade. The species' range includes Sumidero Canyon in Chiapas, part of a national park where the species is afforded a level of protection. [1]
