Amanoa strobilacea

Unknown

Overview

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

Amanoa strobilacea faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its limited range in tropical West and Central Africa. Agricultural expansion, particularly for palm oil plantations and subsistence farming, has fragmented the lowland rainforest ecosystems this species depends upon. Logging activities, both commercial and artisanal, further reduce available habitat and alter forest structure critical for this understory tree species.

Threat summary

Habitat

Amanoa strobilacea inhabits lowland tropical rainforests, typically occurring in the understory of primary and mature secondary forests. The species is found in humid forest environments across West and Central Africa, preferring areas with consistent moisture and canopy cover.
