Conservation status

The IUCN Red List lists Dalbergia occulta as critically endangered. [5]

Due to overexploitation and the risk of confusion with similar species, Dalbergia occulta and other Dalbergia species from Madagascar were listed in CITES Appendix II [6] in 2013, currently with a zero export quota. [7]
