Aglaia unifolia

Unknown

Overview

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

Aglaia unifolia faces severe threats from deforestation and habitat conversion in its limited range within Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and logging activities. Urban development and infrastructure projects pose additional pressures on the remaining forest fragments where this rare tree species persists.
