Due to its limited range, the golden Himalayan raspberry has been contained to a few stations on Hawaii. Any new populations are to be eliminated as quickly as possible. [16] Control practices at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park have shown that simply identifying and removing the shrub can help dramatically reduce its invasive impact. [19]
It is sometimes believed to be extinct in the wild, with any remaining plants being threatened by habitat loss. Cultivated plants exist in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park , and certain captive-grown individuals have been replanted at the original site.
