There is a lack of robust data on the population size and trends of the Aloe ferox population. Current information on abundance and trends is largely anecdotal and is considered to be outdated and in need of further verification. The recent resource assessment report for the species (DEA 2014) failed to present accurate, quantitative estimates on the national status of the A. ferox population.
