Leucaena leucocephala presents a potential threat to National Protected Areas (NATL), classified as a moderate concern. The current status in NATL indicates it is controlled, with active management strategies in place including routine monitoring and manual removal. Herbicide applications are targeted at foliage, stems, and stumps to mitigate its impact. Notably, while young trees are abundant, mature trees were removed in 2011-12. The species is currently not found in NATL-east, emphasizing the need for ongoing vigilance and management efforts.
