Population
The population on Silhouette is very small and it is restricted to three sites in close proximity of each other (Friedmann 1994, J. Gerlach pers. comm. 2006). Based on the eight times larger area of Mahé, it is suspected that the subpopulation on Mahé was a respectable fraction of the total population. A total population reduction of 50% over the past 100 years can be estimated.

Schefflera procumbens became extinct on Mahé primarily due to the degradation of its habitat (1). While the remaining population on Silhouette is believed to be stable, Schefflera procumbens is considered to be Vulnerable to extinction due to its tiny range (1), which makes it incredibly susceptible to the impacts of any threats that may arise.

The area in which the remaining Schefflera procumbens occurs is under the protection of the Nature Protection Trust of Seychelles. Cultivation of this plant, which would act as a safeguard against this species extinction, has been attempted, but unfortunately failed (1).
