Aglaia coriacea
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.
Habitat
Aglaia coriacea inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forests across Southeast Asia, typically occurring in areas with high humidity and dense canopy cover. The species is found from sea level to moderate elevations, preferring undisturbed primary forest but also tolerating some degree of habitat modification.
