Conservation status in Cameroon.

Ledermanniella monandra has not yet been assessed for the IUCN Red List, but it was assessed in Onana and Cheek (2011). The taxon is known from one locality. The extent of occurrence and the area of occupancy are estimated at 4 km2 each. Due to habitat degradation and the continuous decline of vegetation cover in the area, extent and /or quality of habitat, L. monandra is currently reassessed as Critically Endangered. IUCN Red List category: Critically Endangered CRB2ab (iii).
