Aglenus brunneus

Unknown

Overview

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

Aglenus brunneus faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Agricultural expansion, particularly oil palm plantations and logging operations, continues to reduce the quality and connectivity of its forest habitat. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to even moderate habitat disturbances that alter forest structure and microclimate conditions.

Threat summary

Habitat
