Anisophyllea chartacea

Unknown

Overview

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

Anisophyllea chartacea faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. The species' restriction to specific soil types and elevation zones makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as suitable forest patches become increasingly isolated. Logging operations targeting valuable timber species in mixed dipterocarp forests directly impact this tree's survival, while palm oil plantations and urban development continue to reduce available habitat.

Threat summary

Habitat

Anisophyllea chartacea occurs in lowland tropical rainforests, typically in mixed dipterocarp forest communities on well-drained soils. The species is generally found at elevations below 500 meters, favoring primary forest habitats with high canopy cover and stable microclimatic conditions.
