Conservation status
The IUCN Red List lists Dalbergia occulta as critically endangered.[4]
Due to overexploitation and the risk of confusion with similar species, Dalbergia occulta and other Dalbergia species from Madagascar were listed in CITES Appendix II[5] in 2013, currently with a zero export quota.[6]
