Conservation
Euphorbia tanaensis is listed as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The estimated population in the endemic habitat consists of four mature individuals. There are no known individuals in protected areas or ex situ collections and no evidence of regeneration has been observed within the current population.

However, various community and forestry organization efforts have been made to restore the population. Notably, in 2018 several nursery-raised seedlings were planted in Witu and Kilifi’s Arabuko Sokoke forests.

As of August 2023, Kenya Forestry Research Institute (Kefri) has reportedly undertaken captive cultivation of the plant in an effort to restore its population.
