Dickerson s Forest Gecko Ancylodactylus dickersonae (Squamata: Gekkonidae) has been assessed as Least Concern because this species as presently understood has a wide distribution in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and is possibly also present in Ethiopia, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. It occurs in a number of protected areas where it is not thought to be subject to major threats, although it has very rarely been recorded. Taxonomic research is however needed to clarify the systematics of this apparent species complex and may reveal that this species should be considered a local endemic which may warrant listing in a higher category.
