Editing Ravenea musicalis (section)

===Conservation Status:===
[https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/38675/82841697 Critically Endangered]<br/>
There is a population of about 450 trees in a single river to the north of Taolagnaro,
in the extreme southeast of Madagascar, in an area of less than 4 km".
The population is slowly decreasing - plants and seeds are collected for the horticultural trade
while the trunks are sometimes cut down to make canoes (known as pirogues)and the riverbanks are slowly being cleared
for farmland. An area near here has been marked for large-scale titanium oxide mining,
and if this goes ahead it could have very serious consequences for the population.
