Aporosa egregia

Unknown

Overview

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

Aporosa egregia 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 remaining forest patches become increasingly isolated. Mining activities and palm oil plantation development have accelerated forest clearance in key areas where this tree species occurs.

Threat summary

Habitat

Aporosa egregia inhabits lowland tropical rainforests, typically occurring in primary and secondary forest formations on well-drained soils. The species is found at elevations from sea level to approximately 800 meters, often in areas with high humidity and consistent rainfall patterns.
