Aglaia pannelliana

Unknown

Overview

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

Aglaia pannelliana faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations and logging operations, continues to fragment and destroy the primary forest habitats essential for this species' survival. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat loss, with remaining populations increasingly isolated in forest fragments.

Threat summary

Habitat

Aglaia pannelliana inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forests in Southeast Asia, typically occurring in areas with dense canopy cover and high humidity. The species is associated with well-drained soils in both primary and selectively logged forest environments at elevations below 500 meters.
