Angylocalyx braunii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Angylocalyx braunii faces significant pressure from agricultural expansion and logging activities that fragment its forest habitat across West and Central Africa. The species is particularly vulnerable to selective logging practices that target mature trees, reducing the structural complexity of forest canopies essential for its survival. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering rainfall patterns and increasing drought frequency in its already restricted range.
Habitat
Angylocalyx braunii inhabits lowland tropical rainforests and secondary forest formations across West and Central Africa, typically occurring in areas with high canopy cover and rich soil conditions. The species shows preference for forest edges and clearings where light penetration supports its growth requirements.
