While not currently deemed an endangered species, it has a limited and specialized habitat which could be easily impacted the climate change in the future.

Like other members of the Paroedura bastardi clade, the Ibity ground gecko has prominent longitudinal rows of enlarged keeled scales on its dorsal surface, including on the limbs and tail.

The digits end with widened toe pads which help the animal in climbing low tree trunks and rock surfaces.

[6] Although the Ibity ground gecko remains common in rocky outcrops within its range and its population is presumed stable, the species has been listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN due to its narrow extent of occurrence, being known from only two localities.

Ecological restoration projects and ongoing efforts to reduce fire frequency have been involved in the initiative to protect these areas.
