95 to 99% of the species' native habitat has been destroyed and replanted with plantations of pine trees.
It now remains in patchy areas among these stands and in nearby forest and even roadsides.
Fire suppression in areas of silviculture may be detrimental to the plant, but specimens growing among the pines encounter less competition with other plants and may grow bigger.

Baptisia arachnifera has been listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as endangered since 1978.
It is known from two counties, Brantley and Wayne, in the coastal plain of Georgia.

In addition to protecting its habitat from being drained or developed, prescribed burning may benefit the species.
Timber company, Rayonier, received a Leadership in Conservation Award for its use of prescribed fire to help the species.
