Threats D. scandens is a widespread species and unlikely to be threatened with extinction in the near future, however there are large areas of habitat loss occuring within the species range. In particular a large area of natural forest cover has been lost in Rondonia, Brazil. Much of the habitat loss is associated with conversion for agricultural purposes including the cultivation of soya bean and other commerically important crops.

Past Present Future 13 None  Conservation Measures This taxon is known to occur within a large number of protected areas but seeds have yet to be collected and stored by a seed bank as an ex situ conservation measure.

Red List Criteria: Date Last Seen (only for EX, EW or Possibly EX species): Is the species Possibly Extinct?  Possibly Extinct Candidate?  Rationale for the Red List Assessment D. scandens is described as common and known to be widespread across northern South America. The taxon is known to occur within a number of protected areas and is not considered to be threatened or in decline at present. D. scandens does not meet any of the criteria for a threatened category and is therefore rated as Least Concern. Reason(s) for Change in Red List Category from the Previous Assessment:  Genuine Change  Nongenuine Change  No Change  Genuine (recent)  New information  Taxonomy  Same category  Genuine (since first assessment)  Knowledge of Criteria  Criteria Revisio and criteria  Incorrect data used  Other  Same category but previously change in criteria Current Population Trend: Stable Date of Assessment: 12/08/2010 Name(s) of the Assessor(s): Groom, A.
