Allophylus roigii

Unknown

Overview

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

Allophylus roigii faces significant pressure from habitat destruction and fragmentation across its limited range in the Caribbean. Urban development and agricultural expansion have reduced available forest habitat, while the species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and increased storm intensity affecting its native ecosystems.
