Dolichopoda paraskevi currently has no conservation efforts put in place, although it does occur on at least 1 protected area. There are no known threats to the species, although the caves it lives in, which are relatively undisturbed, can be accessed by tourists which could post a threat to the species. It has been assessed as 'Near threatened' by the IUCN Red List because of this.[2]
