The describing authors assessed the conservation status of N. hamiguitanensis as Vulnerable based on the IUCN criteria. They pointed out that N. hamiguitanensis is far more localised than N. micramphora and N. peltata, which occur at several sites on the mountain and are represented by larger populations. Mount Hamiguitan forms part of the Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary National Park and visitors are only permitted to climb the mountain with the assistance of a guide. The future of wild populations of N. hamiguitanensis will be further secured if provincial officials of Davao Oriental are successful in their bid to gain recognition of Mount Hamiguitan as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
