Alangium havilandii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Alangium havilandii faces severe pressure from rapid deforestation across Borneo, where lowland dipterocarp forests are being cleared for oil palm plantations and logging operations. The species' restricted range and specific habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation, as remaining populations become isolated in increasingly small forest patches. Mining activities and infrastructure development further compound habitat loss pressures in its native range.
Habitat
This endemic Bornean tree species inhabits lowland dipterocarp forests, typically found in primary and mature secondary forests at elevations below 500 meters. It grows in the understory and canopy layers of these biodiverse tropical rainforests, requiring the humid microclimate and rich soils characteristic of intact forest ecosystems.
