The Cycad, known to Tongans as the "Longolongo" tree has been listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (www.iucnredlist.org/details/42064/0).
Though habitat loss due to commercial agriculture and human settlement, has been brought forward as the main cause of the demise of the species, senseless cutting down of leaves for decorative purposes is also another cause.
