Mount Hamiguitan
The describing authors assessed the conservation status of "N. hamiguitanensis" as Vulnerable based on the IUCN criteria. They pointed out that "N. hamiguitanensis" is far more localised than "N. micramphora" and "N. peltata", which occur at several sites on the mountain and are represented by larger populations. Mount Hamiguitan forms part of the Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary National Park and visitors are only permitted to climb the mountain with the assistance of a guide. The future of wild populations of "N. hamiguitanensis" will be further secured if provincial officials of Davao Oriental are successful in their bid to gain recognition of Mount Hamiguitan as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
