Dobera glabra is a much branched multipurpose evergreen shrub or tree, which distributed in Acacia savanna, open woodland with grassy clearings, and nubica scrub. This study investigates the population structure, regeneration status, cultural importance, major threats to D. provides input for policy decision-makers develop conservation strategies that improve of species. A sample plot 30 × 20 meters 10 id="M2"> were systematically laid along transect lines mature seedling saplings species, respectively. The historical distribution principal collected through semistructured interviews focused group discussion purposively selected informants. Moreover, direct field observation such as cutting debarking was recorded. density found be 18.33 stem ha−1. mean DBH 43.55 cm (SE id="M3"> ± 1.58), showing bell-shaped pattern implying mid-DBH class dominant class. height crown diameter 5.5 m id="M4"> 0.19) 8.60 id="M5"> 0.31), Furthermore, status extremely poor. species identified drought, lightning, grazing, cutting, windfall. structure revealed pattern. poor natural shows need implement reactive approach.
