Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Aglaia coriacea faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its Southeast Asian range. The species is particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion, which fragment its lowland forest habitat. Palm oil plantations and urban development have eliminated significant portions of suitable habitat, while remaining forest patches are increasingly isolated and degraded.
