Andinobates virolinensis is considered "Vulnerable" by the IUCN because it is found in very few locations and because its habitat is threatened by habitat loss, primarily due to agricultural expansion. However, it is a common species in the zones it does inhabit.
Andinobates virolinensis is sometimes traded and sold as a pet, despite INDERENA Decree # 39 (July 1985) that forbade the collection of dendrobatids from the wild for breeding (or other) purposes.
