==Comments and Curiosities==
Conservation: This is an extremely rare species, which is known today as only two small areas on which are found in all and for all a few dozen plants. This species is protected by the prefecture. The species Bactris nancibaensis is subject to a high risk of extinction in France in the medium term. The Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning therefore intends to conduct this year, drafting a national action for the species level. To do this, a tender is being launched to prepare the national action for the species level. This plan will aim, in light of threats to the species, to ensure its sustainability by achieving a viable population dynamics. (ti palm.fr)
