However, this is neither a recognized national park, nor does it fall within the jurisdiction of the system of Integral Protection Conservation Units. As such, rules governing land use in this area are very flexible, placing this species at increased risk.

With only three known populations (São Fidélis, Bom Jesus de Itabapoana and Nova Venécia), the species has great risk, especially because of the major habitat degradation that has suffered, confirmed by field observations in at least one of the populations with the complete deforestation of 25% of its habitat in the last five years. It is also observed that the three known populations occur in a largely fragmented environment (one of the most degraded areas of the Atlantic Forest) corresponding to an Extension of Occurrence (EOO) of approximately
