''Leocereus bahiensis'' are being affected by habitat loss due to range being widespread. The eastern range of the plant generally ends up in an area that is not ideal for agricultural growth. The major threat to habitat loss that happens within numerous national parks (Parque Nacional da Chapada Diamantina, Parque Estadual de Morro Chapeu, Parque Nacional Boqueirão da Onça and Parque Nacional do Rio Parnaiba.) is due to industrialization. The industrial agriculture of soy, Eucalyptus and cotton in the western are of its range are most affected.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/151744/0|title=Leocereus bahiensis|website=www.iucnredlist.org|access-date=2016-04-27}}</ref>▼
