The population of the new gecko present on the lower slopes of Mount Gorongosa is threatened by illegal deforestation taking place within the riverine forest adjacent to Murombodzi Waterfall. Slashand-burn removal of tall, old growth trees around the rocks may cause changes to the humidity and water availability in these currently very moist, shaded microhabitats that seem to be preferred by the lizards. Reforestation efforts led by Gorongosa National Park and introduction of shade-grown coffee as an alternative to slash-and-burn agriculture still practiced around the mountain will hopefully slow or halt the loss of the native riverine and evergreen vegetation in that area. On Bunga Inselberg the population of

is currently protected within the core area of the National Park and no immediate threat to its survival exists, though deforestation for agriculture is slowly encroaching on the area. However, based on the existence of only a few known sites and small area of occupancy, i.e. the presumed restriction to a fragmented range on Mount Gorongosa and potentially some rocky areas surrounding the mountain, as well as the ongoing high rate of habitat degradation and conversion on the mountain, the species may be considered highly threatened, potentially justifying an assessment as Endangered or even Critically Endangered. Further surveys and formal IUCN Red List assessment are required to confirm this.
