"Gonocephalus abbotti’s" experience interacting with humans has been both positive and negative. The location of the dragon plays a part on the influence. The Thailand and Malaysia regions are subject to farming and the clearing of rainforest timber to acquire more farm land. The end product can result in the destruction of habitats of reptiles and lizards, including the angle-head. Many exotic lizards and reptiles are also hunted and sold as pets affecting the general diversity of rainforest organisms. Environmental degradation is an issue for the angle-head along with many other rainforest species (Bain, & Hurley, 2011). The "Gonocephalus abbotti" currently does not appear on the red list but it does appear in the catalog of life (“Catalogue of life: Indexing the worlds known species,”2012). The angle head does not appear on the red list due to the lack of data.
