Aglaia macrostigma
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Aglaia macrostigma 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 the remaining forest patches are increasingly isolated and degraded.
Habitat
Aglaia macrostigma inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forests in Southeast Asia, typically occurring at elevations below 800 meters. The species prefers humid forest environments with dense canopy cover and is often found in both primary and selectively logged secondary forests.
