Aglaia evansensis

Unknown

Overview

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

Aglaia evansensis faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat conversion in its extremely limited range in the Philippines. The species' restriction to lowland and hill forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion. Its small population size and fragmented distribution increase extinction risk from stochastic events and reduced genetic diversity.

Threat summary

Habitat

Aglaia evansensis is endemic to lowland and hill forests in the Philippines, typically occurring in primary and secondary forest habitats at elevations up to 500 meters. The species requires intact forest canopy and is associated with the diverse tree communities characteristic of Philippine tropical rainforests.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Aglaia evansensis classified as Critically Endangered?
Aglaia evansensis is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Aglaia evansensis faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat conversion in its extremely limited range in the Philippines. The species' restriction to lowland and hill forests makes it particularly vulnerable to logging operations and agricultural expansion. Its small population size and fragmented distribution increase extinction risk from stochastic events and reduced genetic diversity.
Where does Aglaia evansensis live?
Aglaia evansensis occurs in Fiji. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Aglaia evansensis?
The main threats to Aglaia evansensis are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
