The issue of species loss has emerged as one of the main challenges facing biodiversity conservation. This study evaluates the level of risk faced by 13 taxa of conifers native to the Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO for its acronym in Spanish), Mexico. Both the IUCN Red List criteria and the Extinction Risk Assessment Method (MERE for its acronym in Spanish) specified in NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 were used. In addition, priority conservation areas were identified by overlaying the distributions of each taxon and conducting a complementarity analysis. The results revealed that there are at least two areas of extreme priority that are home to a large diversity of endemic conifers, several of which face threats and are not covered by the current legislation. It is suggested that several taxa be added to or reclassified into higher-risk categories ―e. g., Juniperus blancoi var. huehuentensis and Abies neodurangensis to “At Risk”―, to highlight their vulnerability to various threats. Although sustainable forest management has helped maintain the stability of some commercial species, such as Pinus cooperi, most are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. It is essential to expand our current knowledge of species through systematic studies, dasometric surveys, genetic analyses, and climate modeling. An accurate understanding of these species by the stakeholders managing the forest is essential in order to promote a culture of conservation that prioritizes the rich diversity of conifers endemic to the SMO.
