Cycad poaching is primarily driven by their high market value in the illegal plant trade, as these slow-growing species are often sought after for ornamental purposes and collector interest. Habitat destruction and loss also exacerbate the problem, pushing poachers to target vulnerable populations. Additionally, insufficient legal protections and enforcement mechanisms make it easier for poachers to exploit these rare plants. Cultural factors, such as traditional uses and status symbols, further contribute to the demand for cycad species.
