Amorphophallus lewallei

Amorphophallus lewallei is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Amorphophallus lewallei faces severe threats from agricultural expansion and deforestation in its limited range within the Democratic Republic of Congo. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat conversion for subsistence farming and commercial logging. Political instability in the region has hindered effective conservation monitoring and protection efforts, while mining activities pose additional pressure on remaining forest fragments.

Amorphophallus lewallei occurs in Burundi. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.

The main threats to Amorphophallus lewallei are 2.1, 2.3, 3.1, and ai-1. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
